Faerie Marci Candle

Yes, making candles with stamped images IS addicting!!  I just HAD TO make another one!!  This one is with our Faerie Marci (from La-La Land Crafts).  I used brighter colors this time, I think it turned out pretty :-)

Angel Marci Candle

I've seen some stamped candles on the blogs.  I've heard people saying that it is VERY easy to do.  I've never tried it before.  This is my first one!!  And let me tell you, it IS very easy to do!! It actually took me longer to decide how to embellish my candle than to make the stamped image on it!!  

I made one with our Angel Marci as she is a very fitting image for Christmas.  Snowflakes are from the old Stampin' Up set (sorry, don't remember the name of it).  Marci was colored with Copics.  Snowflakes were stamped with Distressed Ink.  

This is one of the projects for my December Workshop.

As you see  I used the flameless candle for my project!!  Pure genius, I know!!  LOL!!  You can light up this candle without feeling bad about letting your stamped candle melt down and disappear!!  

I used English Tea Party Doily by Cheery Lynn to sit my candle on.  To make sure it is usable, I cut out the circle in the center.  To attach the doily, I used my heat gun to melt it in!

Supplies:

Angel Marci stamp - sold HERE

Marci with Flower - Prismacolor Pencils

Here is a simple but pretty card made with Marci with Flower stamp from La-La Land Crafts.  Marci with Flower was colored with Prismacolor Pencils!  I am sure having fun with pencils these days :-)

I have only about 45 pencils, but I am pretty happy with all the color combinations I can come up with this limited palette.  And, my new set of 150 pencils is on the way and should arrive this Friday!!  YAY!!

I made this card as a sample for my Prismacolor Pencils Workshops.  If you would like to attend, check out my Class and Workshop Schedule HERE.

This card measures 5 3/4" x 5 3/4".
