Easy Gold-embossed Candle

I did something just a little different for this simple Holy Family Candle. First, I stamped in Versamark, added Gold embossing Powder, and heat embossed the images as usual.

Because I was afraid that the image/gold embossing powder might stick to the waxed paper during the heating of the candle to melt the tissue paper onto the surface, I flipped the image over onto its face.

Then I just placed the tissue onto the candle surface, held it on with waxed paper and heat embossed just until the wax was slightly visibly melted on the surface.

Completed project

This turned out beautiful. Never thought about embossing a candle. So smart of you!
