Celebration candle

Tonight I thought I would make a simple card to celebrate a friends engagement... Then I decided to do something different instead.... Well I actually wanted to give more of a keepsake, and it was a special occasion.

A few strained brain cells later, and eureka my candle idea was formed.

I used the couples photograph as the background image, " borrowed from their social networking site, so it wouldn't spoil the surprise " and added their names for extra personalisation.


I used the technique of printing onto tissue paper and then embossed the design onto the candle using the heat gun.



A ribbon was attached at the back using a nice pearl headed pin and I also added a lovely diamanté buckle in the shape of a heart for added romantic effect.

Then I packaged the candle in a cello bag and tied it with a sparkled ribbon to protect the design and also to make it look even prettier and gift worthy.
