Day 26 of the S&S 31 Day's of Hallowe'en Blog Hop

Well, there's less than a week left of the 4th Smeared and Smudged 31 days of Hallowe'en blog hop. This has been a blast so far and I wish I had more time to go visit all the other blogs joining in. What with working as well my time is at a premium so I hope I'm forgiven for not being a hopper as well. For all the rules the forum and Terra's blog are the best places to get the info. Including that of all the fantastic sponsors that have been lined up. There is a list still over on the right hand side bar of my blog should you find your self lost.

 What have I got for you all today?
A pair of candles is all I'm afraid
They feature a couple of the new digis available in the Smeared Ink shop. Both from the Danse Macabre range. The ones I have used are The Skeleton Player and the Skeleton Dancer #2.



Done in plain black and white.
How? you ask?
I attached some tissue paper using a temporary adhesive (stick and spray) onto a plain A4 sheet of paper as a carrier through the printer. Then printed as normal. I did flip one each of the images as well, so that I had a mirrored pair. Once printed, just separated the two layers of paper and tissue, cut out the images and applied to the candle with a heat gun after wrapping in baking paper.
A couple of lengths of ribbon each and some little skully embellishments.
Done.

Valerie is the very talented lady you will, no doubt have visited before me, and now is the turn of the beautiful blog of Sharon.

    Your candles are awesome! Thanks for the tip on the baking paper. I was wondering how you managed to make these candles without scorch marks and now I know. Your work is fabulous and the candles are displayed beautifully!

    These're lovely, Helen, but I guess I don't understand what make the tissue paper stick. Oh wait, I think the paper sticks to melted wax. Whatever! They are wonderful!

      That wax melts slightly - yes and absorbs the tissue paper
