I had so much fun creating these 2 items for my bathroom! I absolutely love the way they turned out. The candle was not my idea. I can not remember whose video I watched to learn how to do this technique-I apologize! Anyway, the candle is one I picked up cheap on clearance. I cut the CTMH cardstock from the Cricut cartridge "Cindy Loo". I then wrapped it around the candle and started on one edge with a heat gun and shot the candle with heat for a few seconds and then pressed the paper in to the softened wax. I went all the way around until it was secured. I decorated it further with pearls, ribbon and pearled hat pins. I finished it off with a butterfly stamped with the "Find Your Style" stamp set from CTMH (only available through the end of the month). I wrapped the middle of the butterfly with embroidery floss.
The canvas started out white. I sprayed on a mixture of Vineyard Berry re-inker, Pearl Paint and water mixed in our Spray Pen. I then adhered a strip of paper from CTMH's "Wings" paper pack. I printed the quote on a piece of vellum and adhered it with our cute little button brads. The shoe and corner butterfly were stamped and embossed in black-both from the January "Find Your Style" stamps. I sponged various colors in the blank spots and then added sparkle with our Glitz glitter glue. The center embellishments are from our Wings Stickease. I finished off the canvas with our ruffled ribbon and black lace from Michael's. Let me know whatcha think! I have plans to make 2 more small canvases and a large one to coordinate with this one.
Such a cool project, I have to try that one, TFS
