A few things I learned in this process:
1. Use MUCH darker colors than you normally would. To give you an example...the darkest green you see on the candle is YG17 which now looks similar to YG25. And my little mousies don't show up very dark even though I used W5 on them.
2. Be careful with the amount of ink you use...It will bleed! I had to let each color dry a bit before adding the next or the surface was entirely too wet.
3. Speaking of wet...you'll need to place a scrap piece of cardstock under your tissue paper. I taped my tissue paper down to keep it from moving about while I was coloring.
4. Make sure you pull the wax paper tightly and SMOOTHLY around your candle. Otherwise you'll end up with a crazy pattern melted into your candle.
