Okie Dokie, here's my Christmas In July project:
I got a jump on my holiday gift list with this stamped candle that I call Warm Winter Wishes. I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color this adorable image from the new Crafter's Companion, Mulberry Wood, Giving set on tissue paper that I then trimmed and "melted" onto the candle. The softened wax makes the tissue paper disappear and all you're left with is a beautifully hand-decorated candle!!! The markers color BEAUTIFULLY on tissue paper and stamped candles make the perfect gift.... everyone will be amazed you made it yourself!!! Here is a close up of this cuter-than-cute image:
The colors I used were EB3, EB6, EB8 and TN4 for the log. TN1, TN2, TN3, TN7 and TN8 for the moose. DG1 and DG3 for the trees. IG1 and IG3 to add some shadowing to the snow and CT4, CG4, IB3 and CR9 for the lighted bulbs. Once the candle was finished, I added liquid applique for the snow and Stickles to make the bulbs SHINE!!! The sentiment was created by me on my computer. Yeah... I'm now super excited for Christmas!!! I think I might make a few more of these to give away!!!
Welp, that's it for me today. You're now off to see Wendy's awesome project. Thank you for joining us today as we celebrate Christmas in July! Have fun hopping around to see all of the inspiration from our team, and good luck winning the HUGE prize haul!
