Not a Card but Candle Decorating Projects...

Hello there, Fellow Crafters!  Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.  Just want to share with you a new way of stamping my favorite images...that is on candles.  I am planning to give them as gifts and after watching several YouTube videos for ideas, I decided to try it and my oh my, I was very pleased with the results.  I used 4 of Mo Manning's Digital Stamp Images and they were the best images for my candles.  I colored them with my Prismacolor and ProMarkers and added some glitters to a couple of them.  If you want to know more details about this kind of projects, just browse on YouTube regarding "Stamping on Candles" and you will learn a lot.  Anyway, below you will find the pictures of the candles I decorated from the first to the latest.  I am truly excited...I am sure to do more of these in the next few days.   This project is entered into the following Challenges:


LITTLE DRUMMER BOY "PRAISE THE LORD" (3" X 6") CANDLE:


RAGGEDY ANGEL---JOHN 3:16 (3" X 6") CANDLE:


GYPSY GIRL "MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE" (3" X 9") CANDLE:


GIRL WITH BIRD---HOME AND LOVE (3" X 9") CANDLE:


RAGGEDY ANGEL AND DRUMMER BOY WITH TAGS:


GYPSY GIRL AND GIRL WITH BIRD WITH TAGS:

Aren't they pretty neat?  I never thought I can incorporate my favorite technique (Stamping) on candles.  Now, I got to buy more candles and get busy making more...Hope I can squeeze it all with the time I have each day.  I can see some sleepless nights ahead...LOL  Just want to thank Mo Manning for making such nice images that inspires me to make nice projects.  Looking forward for more cute images to buy soon.  If you enjoyed this pics and blog, please leave a comment and be a follower as I do love to hear from you guys...God bless!
