Red Rubber Designs - Flowers

May is the month of flowers.  This week I have two 3-D projects.  They are tumbled marble tile coasters.  This is one of my favorite projects to make for little gifts for friends.

I stamped the first tile with one of Red Rubber Designs new May releases, Be Fabulous, with Stazon Jet Black ink and colored the image with Fabrico markers.

The back of the tile has a felt coaster glued to it.  This gives a smooth surface that will not damage furniture.

The last step was to spay lightly with Krylon Clear Matte Finish to set the ink.

My second tile uses the RRD stamp set Place in My Heart.  I stamped the tile using Stazon ink pads - Olive Green, Blazing Red, Mustard, and Jet Black.  Then I chalked a little green around the edges with Pebbles, Inc Chalking Set.  Because I used chalk I gently misted the top with a Krylon Clear Matte Finish to set the chalk.  On the back I glued a thick piece of felt in the shape of a dollie.  Sometimes I glue cork on the back.

Mother's Day project - Red Rubber Designs

It is time to start thinking about Mother's Day for next month, so my Red Rubber Designs post this week is a candle for mother or a friend who is a mother.

Using the RRD stamps "Place in My Heart" and "Mother's Face", I first stamped the background on tissue paper using Noir Palette Ink.  Then I stamped the flowers from Place in My Heart using L'Amore Red, Landscape, and Raw Sienna Palette inks.  The tissue was trimmed close the image and placed on the candle.  Then I wrapped the candle with wax paper and used my heat gun to melt the tissue into the candle wax.

The printed cardstock wrapped around the bottom of the candle is from the RRD Miss Moxie collection.  The ribbon is from the Miss Moxie ribbons.  Then I added some sticker jewels around the bottom. 

Here are a few close-up views.

This is a close up of the saying on the sides of the candle between the flowers.

Thanks for looking at my stamped Mother's Day candle project.
