GDT Member Jennifer is HAPPY!

Happy Thursday! It's Jennifer here with my Guest Design Team Post for today! I used one of the Fairy Stamps as you can see and I have been tinkering with my Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks lately. I used scraps of photo paper as the background and added some ink along with Mocha Smooch and distressed. It dried quickly and I stamped the image over top using my Archival Ink from Ranger. I used an old blinged-out flower I had and a HAPPY Sticker along with some random paper from my stash, too!

Now that I know old photo paper 'takes well' to stamped images I think I will do that more often from now on!

Swing by my blog when you have a chance...I'm HERE. Thanks for reading!

Njut

Till denna tag har jag använt stämplarna "Flaska stor C16", "Syltburk mellanstor C43", "Syltburk liten C44", "Klockbakgrund A24", "Blomma dubbel, mindre S12a", "Text med ros T7", och "Klocka med visare, mindre A26". Har lekt med stains, blingz, embossingpulver och akrylfärg.

Kram Tesa

Data killen

Typisk bild av tonåringarna idag, eller hur? Den nya stämpeln Kille vid datorn tillsammans med nya Grattis stämpeln fick bli ett gratulationskort till en 13-åring som fyller snart. Motivet färglagt med promarker penna.

Stamp a candle...

I thought I'd show you how to use your stamps on candles today.

1. What you will need. Stamps (of course.... ), the ones I have used here are "Twig with hanging hearts, small (J27a)" and "Äntligen Jul (J11)". Ink, a heat gun, tissue paper or a white napkin of some sort (I have used a paper napkin) and a candle.

2. Stamp and colour your images. I have taken my napkin apart so that I only have one layer. It also saves ink in my markers... Put an extra sheet of scrap paper underneath, the ink has a tendency to bleed through.

3. I tear my images off, as close as I can without tearing them apart.

4. Press the images onto the candle. It helps if you've got warm hands... ;)

5. I use a bit from a baking sheet to hold the images in place while warming them with the heat tool. Hold it quite tight, the tighter the better. You'll see when you're done, it's like embossing, the surface suddenly changes...

6. When you remove the baking sheet the napkin will have blended into the candle and the edges will no longer be visible!

7. Decorate as you see fit! Just one thing to remember: Put inflammable items near the bottom of the candle and remember to put the candle out before the flame reaches them!
