This month's Project of the Month over at Whiff of Joy is to decorate a candle. I used the beautiful Willow With Lanternfor my project. First I cut my latest obsession, Bazzill Dotted Swiss paper in Blissful, a burgundy color embossed with Swiss dots, to fit the glass candle. Over that I added a thinner slice of patterned paper, Poinsettia Stripe, from Making Memories FaLaLa collection. The papers are edged with another obsession of mine, the Krylon 18K Gold Leafing pen and attached to the candle with 1/2 inch Scor-Tape from Scor-Pal which is kind of like red line tacky tape.
Next I die cut the image with my Nestabilities, ran my gold leaf pen over the edge, then colored her with Copics. I applied Stickles in Icicles over her hair and dress- at night when the candle glows she is sparkles beautifully.
I used yellow Copics around her for a candlelit glow. The glittery Poinsettia Primas are from my Calypso Tin. Finally, I added Red Liquid Pearls to the holly berries and gold and pearl Dew Drops in Golden Berry to the Primas.
Be sure to visit the Project of the Month Gallery to see all the DT members projects this month. Christmas is fast approaching and the gallery is a great place to find inspiration for home made gifting.
