These candles are absolutely beautiful! If you don't mind, how did you do it? Did you do all the coloring before putting the image on the candle or did you color on the candle?

Thank you for your lovely comment.
There is a Tutorial for Stamping on Candles here on SCS.
I will try and post the link below but I haven't done it before, so if I fail this is what you do:-
Stamp image onto tissue paper using Stazon.
Color image.
Cut image out.
Place on Candle and wrap a piece of Wax Paper (I use baking Parchment!) around the candle, securing image in place, hold tightly at the back.
Gently heat using heat gun - this "embeds" the stamped image onto candle. Don't linger in one place too long as you can melt the candle! Should this happen, whilst the candle is still wrapped in the wax paper gently roll on a work surface and it should smooth out any problems!
I hope this works!
(Okay, I checked the link and it doesn't work, so highlight the link, press right click on mouse and select NAVIGATE TO and it should take you to the page.
