I hope everyone had a wonderful (holiday USA) weekend. Stormy here in the Midwest....yikes. We have had trees down, power down and enough excitement for one weekend that is for sure.
I wanted to give a quick second post to an earlier project on image & stamping on candles. (See my "Candle Works" post) So much fun and have had a great time doing this. :)
This time I took images from stamps, and old designs, cards etc... that I copied onto tissue paper. I did a random collage of thoughts & words....
It isn't too difficult really. You will just want to glue a piece of tissue paper to a piece of cardstock so it can go through your printer. Try a little glue from a glue stick. It works great and the same process is then followed, that you use to transfer the rubber stamped images from the tissue paper to the candle. Quick & pretty!
I decided to of course make this kinda~cutesie~gifty and added a stray Limoges (French) lonely saucer that no longer has a cup to call home. I paired with my candle and ta~da, a cute base for burning. Luckily I noticed these stray saucers in an antique shop locally and thought they would be perfect for this! You could also find them at flea markets & garage sales perhaps for a mere song. :)
Much too pretty to toss away.....
You can add a bow for the final touch as I did above and it's ready for giving and burning. Fun project to play with....as you can tell....I kinda like them. :)
I am going to be putting these in my Etsy shop so check in with me.
