This week at One Stitch at Time, we're playing BINGO! Vicky designed a great board for us (see Challenge), so just pick 3 squares on the diagonal (you muct include the center square, a Digi image).
I chose "Buttons, Digi, Sentiment" to make this cadle. The Pine Cone Corner image is by Delicious Doodles (available at StitchyBear Digital Stamps) and the sentiment is from Create with TLC.
I've had the candle over 6 years; it was a house-warming gift, but I don't really burn candles so I figured it was time for it to have a new life.
I first saw the "stamping" on a candle technique on Christi's Creations during a Blog Hop about a year ago (Oh my gosh, I can't believe it's been so long ... a year at Feline Playful!) It really is easy! I followed the simple instructions at Splitcoaststampers. To run tissue paper through your printer, tape it securely and flat onto a piece of cardstock. You don't want to get it caught in the rollers... seriously, you'll be pulling out tiny pieces forever! The tissue paper I used was actually the protective sheeting for some acetate sheets. Sadly, I've used it all up now so I'm gonna have to buy actually tissue paper sheets!
I had so much fun making the candle that I decided to make a whole gift set. I had printed the image/sentiment on the tissue paper twice (I didn't think it would be so easy to color in pencil on the tissue paper), so I used the extra one to make a window card.
I'm entering this into the following challenges:
