Default those candles you stamp on

ok I love those candles! The one's you stamp on tissue paper and then blow dry it on the candle. Where do you get those big white candles? Which ink do you use also?
Thanks!

do you use special type of pencils? I want to make sure that the pencil will be bright enough to transfer to the candle?

I buy the candles at the dollar store, Michael's, anywhere I can find them cheap. I have used markers, watercolor crayons, and colored pencils all to color the images and they all turned out great!

I use any pencils, the ones on my blog I did with regular watercolour pencils, I really do not think it matters at all, it would prob be a good idea to practice on an old candle, then you will also get a feel for how long to heat and where to put your heat gun so that you don't completely melt the candle. Just give it a go and you will be hooked!!!!
