I used pre-coloured Love You Larry for the front which is available here. On the back I used Love Me Love Me Not Sentiment which is available here:
As I said, I had so much fun decorating these and they are so easy to do. All you have to do is print out the image on tissue paper, cut around the image fairly closely, put it onto the candle and hold in place with a long strip of greaseproof paper which you hold tightly at the back of the candle and then use your heat gun over the image until it sticks onto the candle - it takes seconds! I have then decorated with a piece of Red coredinations which I cut out with my Edgeabilities and then tied a red ribbon around. I used a variety of flowers from Wild Orchid Craft to which I applied some Red Stickles (I also put some on Larry) and added a little heart pin to the flowers and finished off with some pearls around the top.
