A Candle Order

After I made a Candle and Card to match the other week for a lady in my Apartment block's 90th Birthday I was asked by someone who spotted it at her party if I could make a cute Christmas one.  This is what I came up with.


Products Used

Stamp:- Rubber wooden mounted - Candlelit Dreams - Mudpie - HMLR1032 - Stampabilities
Doily Die:- French Pastry - DL102 - Cheery Lynn Designs -
Used purple MERRY CHRISTMAS mirri card to cut it.
I stamped and coloured the image on my usual cardstock with Promarkers.  I then copied it through the printer on tissue paper.  Cut the image out and wrapped it round the candle.  Put greaseproof paper wrapped tightly round the candle.  Heat it gently with the heat gun.
Wrapped a gold glittered self adhesive ribbon round.
Glittered HAPPY CHRISTMAS sentiment peel off.

Thank you for looking.
