ROP Challenge #9: Candle Creations

Can you believe it's challenge #9 already? Time sure flies quickly!! I am one day behind with my sample for the challenge at Roses on Paper. This week fellow DT member, Iris has chosen the challenge for us to create a candle using items only from Roses on Paper. So, I created this one here. Over the weekend, I went to Wal-Mart since Ben Franklin stores were out of them, and I only found one white candle there. So the pressure was on to be sure this candle turns out right. LOL!! Anyway, the candle is not very tall, so I had to find an image that would fit properly and found this Tilda from the Magnolia New Year collection, and used butterflies and grass from the Magnolia Butterflies collection.
I was thinking I should make a candle that can be displayed year round instead of seasonal but I still wanted to make it more "Spring-like". =)
Here is one side of the candle which shows the grass and butterflies from the Magnolia Butterfly collection.

This is the other side of the candle, opposite the top photo. One thing I love about Magnolia stamps is that they are interchangeable with each collection and they never get old at all!!

Here is the back of the candle with the rest of the butterflies. When I colored my image, I used colored pencils. I have not tried with pens, but I assume that it will run all over the tissue paper.

This is one of my most favorite things to do aside of card making. You really can use any image and all kinds of embellishments to the candle but I chose to keep it simple.

Something new to Roses on Paper is our new ROP Tutorial Blog. Here, the DT and myself included will have to come up with a tutorial and add it to the blog. For more information click HERE. To participate in the challenge, create a decorated candle using images and embellishments from Roses On Paper. You will have until April 12th to participate, and the winner will be announced along with the next challenge on April 13th.
