Tealights

Aren't these cute?  You can use the same technique for stamping on candles on tealights.  Stamp your image on tissue paper and color.  I used marker here but have also used colored pencils.  Cut the image, and if you use a shape that works in our punches, it's as easy as can be.  For a tealight you need to use a hole punch to make room for the wick.  It's a big help to punch the tissue on a piece of scratch paper so that the tissue doesn't tear. 
Place the tissue on the candle and heat with a heat tool to "melt" the tissue into the wax.  It is really still there, but the wax of the candle melts around it.  If you were doing a candle, you could hold it on securely while you heat it with wax paper. 

I have been planning for a few months to do a tealight with stamp club sometime soon.  And then in my latest APEX swap organized by my upline, I got one of these from another talented demo in our group.... great minds do "ink" alike!
