Snowy and rainbow candles

There's a change in the weather this past week and the leaves are on the change, autumn is here!  So it's time to get a hoof on with my Christmas cards, I'm absolutely determined this year to not have the usual last minute rush that takes all the fun out of it!

I'd coloured Snowy back during our heatwave and rediscovered him this morning.  I've used him with my MFT town die and my Paper Smooches hills die.
Snowy coloured with watercolour pencils, sparkle added to his scarf and hat and then popped up on foam pads.  Silver stars from stash.

These candles came from a Stampin Up set that I won and didn't quite know what to do with it!  It's a Christmas set but I figured the candles would do just as well for a birthday.
Coloured with watercolour pencils, sparkle added to a few candles and a few others popped up on foam pads.  Clear gloss added to the flames.  Stars coloured to match.
