Design Team Monday!

Hi folks! Our brand new Design Team is up and running. The girls are loading the gallery with cards and projects and we thought we’d share the beauty and creativity with you on Mondays from now on. Enjoy! :)

Cheryl has made an amazing candle using the Poinsettia Bunch stamp:

Instructions:

1. Stamp the Poinsettia image on tissue paper using black ink.
2. Color the image as desired. I used colored pencils & Gamsol.
3. Cut the image out--you can leave a small border.
4. Place the image where desired on the candle, then cover with a layer of plastic wrap. It should be tight, & be sure to get all the wrinkles out--they will show up later if you don't.
5. Heat the image with heat gun. Keep the heat gun moving so the candle will melt evenly. The goal is to melt the wax just enough so that it will absorb into the tissue paper, leaving a thin layer of wax on top of the tissue paper.
6. Once the paper has absorbed the wax, remove the plastic wrap and decorate the candle as desired.
7. For this candle, I added yellow Stickles to the center of the flowers, put a Parisian Accent strip around the bottom and a red gingham ribbon on top of that, then hot-glued a bow to the ribbon. I placed rhinestones on the ribbon all the way around the candle.
