This year’s 24 Tags of Christmas 2019 marches on with a painted candle in watercolor! I bought this stamp some time back and am finally getting it all inked up.
In the video I show how to paint the full background in case you decide to make a whole card, but I trimmed the candles down to more tag-size since the full image would have been way too big. Well, unless it’s tied to a new car. Coz, well, that needs scale. LOL. (Hear me, Santa?)
As with each tag day, I made four of them – so when I finish with all six videos, I’ll have 24 for the big giveaway!
To add the ribbon, I just punched two holes in it with an office hole puncher, threaded two sides of the ribbon through it, tied a knot. Then folded the ends of the ribbon in half and cut them at an angle to create the two points.

Beautiful tags Sandy! Thanks for a great video, I’m going to remember the “no need to clean off brush” tip if you’re layering water colors. Would love to win one of your gorgeous tags!
I am soothed by watching you paint!
Thanks for answering the question about washing the brush between colors. I would really like to see how you handle cleaning between colors. It seems like I waste so much paint.

Nice stamp, great coloring. As always, lots of helpful tips. And you can’t beat candlelight at Christmas time! Thank you.
I should have come here before asking questions on the YT video! Now I know 😉
I really like all the details that you explained to us and the candlesticks really are a glowing treat! Size wise, I am sure they would make a great tag for a new car!
Thanks for the inspiration!
