Golden Snowflakes

Hi Everyone, Well over at Come and Get It Challenges this week is Anything but a Card. I've always found this challenging as mainly I do make cards, but I do manage somehow to come up with an idea. I've made a candle once before but didn't like the way it turned out, but to persevere is always been my motto. So here is the latest attempt, and I must say that I love the way it turned out. I used the stamping on tissue paper method to make the candle. I stamped on tissue paper with Versamark ink all the snowflakes, then I embossed them with gold embossing powder. I then melted it onto the candle slowly with my heat tool. I made the tag using the decorative label punch and embossed gold snowflakes on it, stamped the To and From from the Winter Post set, then added the Merry Christmas Greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes.
Thanks for looking. Now go over there and check out the other team members designs. They have made some really interesting things for you to see.
