Friendzy Friday with Two Scrapbook Friends

It's Friendzy Friday again and I am happy to share with you this cute rolled candle technique. I love the way it adds dimension and texture to my cards or layouts. It could be that "special something" on your design too.

Let's begin! Here's what you'll need:

1. A fun patterned paper scrap cut into 2.5 x 3.5 inch pieces (this is old Bo Bunny)
2. A flower you can shade with ink and whose petals look like the flames of a candle (I used Prima)
3. An orange ink and a yellow ink
4. A wooden skewer
5. Fast drying glue (I used Beacon's 3n1)

Step 1:
Trim your scrap into 2.5 x 3.5 inch pieces (one each for every candle you will need).

Step 2:  Roll the paper around the wooden skewer.

Step 3: Add quick drying glue along the open edge and roll tightly.

Step 4:  Add inks to the petals of the flowers in varying shades of yellow and orange to mimic

Step 5:   Add glue to the tiny end of the petal.

Step 6:  Insert the petal into the rolled paper.

When you are done, you can add them a layout or card .

 Here's a layout I made for my son's twelfth birthday! I can't believe he is growing up so quickly!

I hope you'll give this a try and light up your birthday designs and share them with us in the forum and gallery.

Keep doing what you love to do!
