This is a technique to bring out the inner kid in you. Playing with fire, who doesn't like that? LOL...Use your candle to make an incredible background.
Candle
Glossy Cardstock
Stamps
Acrylic Sealer [ buy it ]
Step 1.
Take your glossy piece of cardstock and hold it glossy side down over the candle. The flame has to touch the cardstock. Move cardstock around quickly.
WARNING: edges catch on fire easily.
Continue to move the cardstock over the flame until your cardstock is covered.
Step 2.
Take a stamp and press it on to your soot-covered cardstock.
Lift stamp up to reveal your image. The stamp will take away the soot.
Step 3.
Continue to stamp images if needed.
WARNING: Don't touch the front of your soot cardstock or it will show finger prints.
Step 4.
Spray your image with acrylic sealer.
