My Christmas Candle
Products Used
I had never attempted this before so I contacted the lovely KATE for guidance. I made two candles on the same day. The other one will be on my blog on the 17th September and is part of a Card and Candle set. I prefer that one to be honest.
Candle from Hobby Craft
Image:- Winter Fairy Talva
I printed and coloured the image on my usual card stock.
Promarkers
Photo Copied onto the tissue paper.
Cut out the image leaving a small margin around
Pressed image onto the candle. Wrapped greaseproof paper or wax paper around the candle over the top of the image making sure there is no creases.
Heat gently until you can see the image goes shiny.
Die:- Christmas Wishes Header Fold Die Set - 598E - Tonic Studios
Ribbon is from my stash (Make sure the ribbon and paper wrap is removed if you are going to light the candle) and not just using it for decoration.
I was going to glitter this candle but changed my mind as it couldn't be then used for burning.
Thank you for looking and thanks KATE for your help.........

Oh this is so beautiful Cathy!! I love the image and you've coloured her to perfection… so pretty with the ribbon and the gorgeous winter wishes die!

You could add glitter on, I don't think anyone would want to burn this beautiful candle. At least I would keep it as a treasure. That being said it doesn't need any glitter to be beautiful! I actually saw your post before leaving for work today, and I went to buy some white candles after work. So thanks for the inspiration, now I only need some courage to give it a go!
wow loving the top decoration looks amazing and the image so pretty looks perfect in every way and you are welcome hun anytime, cannot wait to see more of your beautiful candles
hugs Kate xx
