The images were stamped on white tissue paper with Stazon black and colored in with Stampin Up Markers. This is a very simple technique, because it just involved stamping and coloring in the lines! OK, it was a bit of a pain as there is quite a bit of green leafy matter and I stamped the image four times for top and bottom and to get it all around the candle! I think it is worth the coloring time and this would surely make a nice gift! Don't you love the "Ant Dude" shoveling all the snow away to bring Spring in??

Why would I be using Spring as a theme, well I question if this is Spring or Winter! We have been in the mid to high 60's during the day, but still dropping quite low at night. Most of the Midwest has not seen a snowflake and are enjoying warmer days, so I felt as if Spring has Sprung! We are also going to Spring over to Simon Says Stamp and Show Something New ... Something Old. My candle is new and my stamps are old!
I sure hope you are enjoying this first week of "2012." Have a great weekend and thank you for stopping by!

What a fun project, Terry! I really love the Nouveau look of the border! Doesn't feel much like winter here either!
Your candle is gorgeous. It looks like a lot of work, but definitely worth it. Love your shoveling ant.

Gorgeous candle! Thanks for joining us at Blogger's Challenge this week!
A beautiful stamp you selected and with fabulous colouring.
Tell me, do you stamp directly onto the candle? Most times I use the stamped onto tissue paper technique but other times stamped directly onto the wax.
Thanks for sharing this touch of Spring.
Have a lovely weekend my friend.

So beautiful! And with a high of 57 degrees expected here in New York today.... you are right about the sentiment as well. Love your ant dude, too!
Awesome candle Terry. I was beginning to wonder about our winter too. Well wouldn't you know it we woke to see a bit of snow this morning. (and its still here) LOl

Beautiful candle. I do love the ant I wondered why you included him in your photo. I love that he is shoveling snow so Spring can arrive! Warmly, Linda
Beautiful candle, well worth the work it took. Love your ant, we have no snow or cold here in Michigan, I sure wish we could skip winter and go right to spring!
