When the image was transfered we just added some Twinkles glitter, and added a border to the candle which is actually a Martha Stewart design punch and some ribbon. The box is a template that I have used in various projects - anyone wanting dimensions - then, I will hopefully be putting up a tutorial for this with the dimensions and instructions!</span><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgthT68sYCH2B311nDKeo_ViIW7Z4RALYPlt-plrVUjSjsccE6SOdinwjVM7uFX_DL-jbArERExjQRYxaxBRDv9ERWKXuvMOBJ14ZYEHOcFOoc-EO8glcEVzygYBcN-RNd4uaoFdniWlyo/s1600-h/Picture+051.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 196px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411716597632090306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgthT68sYCH2B311nDKeo_ViIW7Z4RALYPlt-plrVUjSjsccE6SOdinwjVM7uFX_DL-jbArERExjQRYxaxBRDv9ERWKXuvMOBJ14ZYEHOcFOoc-EO8glcEVzygYBcN-RNd4uaoFdniWlyo/s200/Picture+051.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmGak722RvNaJZ5_j2K1PkQ_pf3OapDqMuPSh-lGO78svbw8FdJZZpk9lJAk7Fq385CnMnjI_4RRgmWOXcXaeYrr953ArqDjlvZ7elBbg56f-gFKNIV1i3tuRUwqsBCtLh5gm_MnYm150/s1600-h/Picture+052.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 198px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411718007218012834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmGak722RvNaJZ5_j2K1PkQ_pf3OapDqMuPSh-lGO78svbw8FdJZZpk9lJAk7Fq385CnMnjI_4RRgmWOXcXaeYrr953ArqDjlvZ7elBbg56f-gFKNIV1i3tuRUwqsBCtLh5gm_MnYm150/s200/Picture+052.jpg" /></a></p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Here is a close up of the image on the candles.</span><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/58/2A9112B58203AE69A21B0AEBDE29A5A8.png" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18196895112132680214noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3282960072787752009.post-72301439152199828222009-11-29T11:46:00.041+00:002009-11-29T13:59:27.214+00:00Megaliscious (if that's a word!)
