Whimsical Bird Candle

Hello Nomad friends.  Gosh June!!!!!   Hope you have sunshine and long drinks with umbrellas in them.  First of the month so time for a new challenge over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity.  This month we want to Save the Trees and see stamping on anything other than normal paper or card.  I went with Lost Coast Designs Flora Whimsical Bird, stamped on tissue paper and added to a candle.

I stamped Flora onto tissue paper and coloured with sharpies.  I went around the outside of the stamped image with a wet paint brush and ripped around the image.  A ripped edge blends much better into the candle.

I use a piece of wax paper to hold the image flat on the candle while heating gently with my heat pistol.   The wax paper also gives you something to hold onto to keep your fingers away from the heat.

Taa Dah!!!!

Join the fun for a chance to win Lost Coast Design dollars!  See you there....

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

How clever you are to do that, it looks amazing. That would be a brilliant way to personalise a present xx
