Christmas Candle


Good Morning.  It is 6:30 here in Ohio and it is COLD, and SNOW on the ground that is isn't leaving anytime soon.  There is just so much to do this time of year.  With Christmas around the bend there just seems like there is no time for anything.  But I did find time to do a candle.  I saw this done someplace on the internet and I can't remember where but is you go to youtube and search "Stamping on a Candle" you will find a video to show you just how this is done.
For this I used the stamp from Stampin Up, called lovely as a tree, I actually used the center tree and the took the stamp that had a lot of trees and stamped it for the back.  I used gold glitter embossing powder for this and it made it stand out nicely.  I tied a ribbon around  the bottom. 
You basically stamp your imagine either with ink or if you are embossing, with versamark on to tissue paper, and who doesn't have tissue paper at this time of year......and then you cut your imagine out and then take a heat guy for embossing and melt the image on, you need to be careful to not over melt or your candle will look drippy...........I hope you all try this...It was actually fun.  I did another one with snowflakes I will add too.
