Pine Cone Votive

shows the overall outline of  the Dreamweaver stencil


 

These three pictures show the detail and  how pretty the finished votive is when it is lite up. You can see the sheen of the Copper Metallic Embossing Paste when the light from the candle reflects on the pine cone. This is a preview of a four technique demo.  I will be adding supply list soon for this project.
