OK this is going to be a photo heavyt post. Its Wednesday and time for 2 regular things in my diary - an InStyle Stamps challenge, and Whats on your Workdesk Wednesday, and I have my Design team card for the Dutch Dare challenge to share.
This week it is a photo inspiration over at
InStyle Stamps blog.
I chose to decorate a candle:
I used
Harvest Veggies, which a digital image that you can find
here, and coloured it with my promarkers. I wound copper wire round the candle, stuck the image on and then added gems. It has been a bit of a labour of love, as I tried acetate - pens made the ink run, a transparency - shrivelled when I tried a heat gun on it, so I stuck with a printed image!! Obviously I am not going to light the candle LOL!!
I am entering my candel into this week's
I Love Promarkers challenge Autumn.
I have also made a project using this cutie from
Wags n Whiskers for this week's
Dutch Dare challenge, where the theme is halloween or halloween colours.
Their theme this week is Halloween - I coloured this cute ickle fairy in pumpkin colours and use BG Eerie papers for the dp. The sketch is from this week's
Papertake Weekly challenge, slightly tweaked!! I haven't put it on a card blank yet as I might use it on a scrap page, as I have a pic of my older fairy as a pumpkin ... what this space!!!
Finally my
work desk this morning - the remnants of yesterday's playing still around, and images ready for today. By my pen bag there is a pile of finished Christmas cards waiting for me to make card blanks - yes Anne I have done them LOL!!
Here's a closer look at those cards!

Good for you on getting your Christmas cards started. Love the candle.
Looks like you are getting ready for Christmas, both on the desk and with the candle. May I suggest that you stamp on a napkin (one layer only) and use your heat tool to melt it into the wax. I realize it's done, but that may help in the future. Of course, that won't work with digi stamps, but it will with regular ones. Happy WOYWW (# 12).
