(Yes, it smells amaaazing. I don't even have to light it - I just keep the lid off on my bedside table.)The label is from The Graphics Fairy, and started out blue. With a little Photoshop magic, though, it became a pretty emerald green:
This is a great trick anytime you want to color-coordinate your labels. Just go to Image - Adjustments - Replace Color, and play with the sliders.And here's my tweaked graphic, in case you'd like to use it yourself:

I love the mint-chocolate candle! We have the giant three wick candle we loved it so much. I do the same thing with leaving the lid off too. Though my label solution is just to rotate it toward the wall so I just get the candle color through the glass.
ReplyDeleteI have this exact same candle, and you're right. it does smell amazing, not flame necessary! Thanks for the label!
ReplyDeleteJust in case some of you can't afford Photoshop, I recommend Gimp. It's a free, open-source program that is a good alternative for those of us on a serious budget.

Since it is FREE, if you do have *some* money, a donation would be great, but not required or necessary at all.
And, that candle looks great Jen, par usual! :D
I love the idea of drinking something "while in a state of effervesence"!! This is probably a good description of me at those moments, indeed.

After the last one, I made a sugar scrub for a friends and used one of the labels as a template for a custom label. It turned out really pretty, and with very little photoshop effort. It made a short mason jar look very fancy. So, thanks!
