Good Morning, hope the weather is dry and still nice and sunny for you, It's hard to get as much done as I'd like to with the school holidays. Although I did go last night and get the biggest part of the school uniforms. Friday I think we are going to the Leeds City Museum, my youngest son is looking forward to that as they have a whole floor dedicated to stuffed animals, there's everything from Tigers, Polar Bears to even a Panda. Although I'm not sure what his reaction will be when he realises they are actually dead animals, he's so infatuated by animals and has toy ones (in the hundreds) all over the house and plays with them constantly. Then there's a Mummy from Egypt, which I think he'll be OK with.
Now onto my candle, I decided to do a Christmas one using this LOTV stamp, I love this one although it was quite fiddly colouring it on tissue paper. I glittered it too and added some glittered snowflakes.
The flower is made using the Poinsettia Spellbinders die.
Here is the Christmas sentiment I put on the back of the candle.
I also made a gift box for the candle, I die cut an oval to the front and to the back and added an acetate window. Also added the same die cut Poinsettia to the gift box.
Here's the back of the gift box, showing the sentiment through the acetate window.
I loved making this candle, and not quite as hard as I originally thought. There will definitely be some made for gifts this year, in some everyday designs too.
This is for the following challenges:-
1. The Hobby house - challenge 3 - Christmas
2. LOTV Ideas to inspire - Make It Festive (GDT)
3. Deep ocean - challenge # 57 - Christmas In July
4. Challenges 4 Everybody - challenge # 26 - Anything Goes
5. ABC Challenge - P is for ........ Post Letters, Poinsettia, Punched Border
Hope you have a good week
Thank you for popping by my blog.
