Spanish Dancer

Time for another challenge over at

Challenge 39
Lyrics
Give us a song to inspire us :) :) :) 

Welcome back to the IKEsWORLD challenges :)  do pop on over to IKEsWORLD to join in the challenge, just remember, you must use and IKEsART image to be eligible for the prize.  Why not pop on over to the store too :), Ike produces the most amazing stamps, everything from off the wall to cute and fluffy :) :) :)

Another candle from me for this challenge but I think it will be the last for a wee while as I seem to have made so many recently.  The song I have used for this creation is Spanish Dancer by Patti Scialfa - you can read the lyrics here and the image very fittingly is also called Spanish Dancer.


To begin with I designed the background on Photoshop and added another of Ike's images, a map of spain.  The next layer contained the lyrics from the song Spanish Dancer and on the final layer I placed the Spanish Dancer image with the white background removed.  The wrapper is now ready for printing and then I can finish the rest of the colouring.
The image was coloured with Faber Castell Polychromos and then attached to the Ikea 9" candle.  If you would like to see how I decorate my candles please have a look at the video :)




Here is the finished candle :) side views
