Creative Belli Challenge 123 - Non-paper Materials

Hi there. Today we have a new challenge for you at the Creative Belli Challenge. This time the challenge is to dig in your stash, and find something non-paper to work with. You can grab that piece of fabric you saved and always said you were going to use, but haven't yet. Or maybe some burlap, I have seen some lovely things with dryer sheets too. You get the idea. I decided to grab this candle that has been sitting in my craftroom for a year or so now...and sitting in my hutch for about 8 years before that...lol. I stamped the image on tissue, and used my heat tool to "melt" it onto the wax. The image is from Eureka Stamps, and is called Lg. Manger Circle. I really like the way the image "crinkled" too. I think it gives it a different look. I felt it needed something else, so I started digging. I found these snowflake eyelets (not paper, but metal!), and used my eyelet hammer to get them in the wax. They added just enough to make me happy...lol. Well that is all from me. Head on over to the Creative Belli Challenge Blog, and see what the rest of the ladies have come up with. Then play along, and link up your project to the link at the bottom of today's challenge post. Thanks for stopping by!
