Wax Seals - Roses Red/White In Scalloped Circles

I had some time on Thursday while it was raining and chilly outside... so decided to play with my wax seals.

I used my electric wax warmer (LOVE that thing) along with my candle burner from Spellbinder's that I recently bought instead of holding my spoon over a candle...

I had done a few before I got what I wanted and of course re-melted what I used getting a nice variegation of white/red mix perfect for a rose. Then melted a combo of gold/bronze/copper and pressed the rose into that. This stamp doesn't have a border so trimmed away the rolled edge and placed into my silicone stamp mold (it has 6 shapes and I like the scalloped and larger scallop shapes the best, although I like the stamp shape one too...

I'm pleased with the results. I think I'll put them on greeting cards with some of my calligraphy. We'll see.

MC Nov/17 - Easel Cable Knit - ECD Cozy & Warm Thoughts - Baby It's Cold Outside

I got this cable knit embossing folder from Stampin Up a while ago and thought it would create a nice masculine card. It's a very 3D folder and does not fit in my Cuttlebug machine (it's about 1/16" too wide...), so luckily I have my Cherry Lynn Crossover machine. But for everything else I die cut with my Cuttlebug which is right on my desk...

I'm using an A Way With Words dies "Cozy", "Calligraphic Elements 2" 2pce set and "Warm Thoughts" from Elizabeth Craft Designs, also available on Quietfire Design  HERE, HERE  and HERE
