Candles and Golf

Just a quick post to share a couple of things I've been working on over the last couple of days.

Firstly, is a candle I've made for a friend:

 I printed the leopard print pattern onto tissue paper and used my heat gun to 'melt' it under the surface of the candle.

Then I added Nestie circles, round and scalloped; a peel off; a punched border and an MS leopard print butterfly.

And finally, another shaped card for someone who loves .... yes, you've guessed it - GOLF!!

Hope you've all had a fabulousy, warm weekend and here's hoping for more of the same next week!

Hugs xx

More Paint Fusion :)

A while ago, I started making my stash for a Craft Fair that I am doing in August.  It sounds like a long way off but I'm sure that the time will fly, so I'm trying to be organised!

I painted five candles:

  (there is a fifth one lurking behind!)

Personally, I'm not keen on the cream candle as I think the pure white candles show off the painting better.  What do you think?

I also painted a canvas:

I found the blank canvas in a box of items that I have bought over the last few months (well, probably more like a year!) with the intention to paint them or decorate them in some way.  I really don't know why I waited so long because once I got going, it didn't take that long at all!

 I added Distress Inks to the edges of the canvas and then I stamped swirls and embossed them with Wow gold embossing powder.  I also embossed all four edges.

For a finishing touch I sprayed the whole canvas with Gold Spray & Sparkle.

Hope you're having a fab weekend xx

Paint Fusioned Candle

Just a quick post to share a candle I painted for my mum.  It's been a while since I 'paint fusioned' but I'm pleased with the results:

I painted daisies all around the candle, added fronds and finished off with gems.

Hope you're all having a fab Easter with lots of yummy chocolate xx
