Teddy Bo Tuesday

Goooood Morning everyone.....and here's to another Teddy Bo Tuesday!!

Only 5 left to go before Christmas...things are getting a bit hectic here....there's a mad rush to get all the Christmas cards finished...with one or two of us (Gayle) not even started!!!  We hope that you're managing to get organised without too much panic?!

SO...as it's Teddy Bo Tuesday we have some new releases......now, we appear to have gone snowman mad.....and there really hasn't been a big snowfall yet up here in Scotland to get so excited but they appear to have taken over Teddy Bo Towers.  So not only do we have Bo and Bea as actual snowbears...but all The Snowies have also been re-drawn as line art. 

So, let's see what's new this week

 

 

Of course...with all these new goodies the girls couldn't wait to get on with their Christmas card making......

It's Thursday, it's time for tea...it's

 

and today's teacher is

 

 

 

How to make an altered candle with a digital image - a step by step guide

Firstly tape your tissue paper to a piece of card before putting it into your printer

Then print your images

Next colour in your chosen image.

This is TEDDYBEA_225 coloured with Promarkers

Then carefully cut out your image

Place your image onto your candle (I have used an unscented plain pillar candle) and cover with heat proof paper (baking paper)

Gently heat using a heat tool - you should see a distinct colour change as the wax melts and comes through the tissue paper

Allow to cool slightly before carefully removing the baking paper and there you have it, your fabulous altered candle!
