Question about stamping on candles

[memoriesbytlc]

I just tried doing this for the first time. Is it normal to have a bit of a shadow around the image? Does this mean that I didn't cut it out close enough to the image? :confused: Or maybe it's because it was white tissue paper on an off-white/ivory candle?

Any tips to minimize the shadowing? Thanks

I've only stamped a few candles, but I've used plain white candles and white tissue paper, and didn't notice any shawdowing. Also, per info from some one else on this site, I don't cut my image out, I tear it so the edges are kinda ragged. That way the edges aren't that noticeable. HTH:-D

I think it is because the image paper didn't match the candle. I use white and I cut it but don't get any shadowing.
