The CAS challenge is to make a holiday/Christmas gift with paper/cardstock. I chose a very easy gift box/bag after watching this great tutorial 2-5-7-10 Box Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers I then cut it down to make the height I needed. I added the same image to a candle. I stamped the bauble on a small piece of tissue paper, cut around it leaving a small border - once in position on the candle I held it in place with a long strip of greaseproof paper. Using a heat gun I melted the image into the candle, it doesn't take many seconds - you can see it change colour, a bit like embossing with powder. The melted wax does lighten the colour a little ... homework I think!

This is fabulous Sandie!! Love the candle and the coordinated gift bag makes this so special! I actually did this one year with little sets of tea light candles...they turned out so cute and everyone was impressed ;)
