In my experience it does not matter what kind of ink you use-I have done this with Stazon, water based ink, even my children drawing on tissue paper with markers.  There is not special kind of tissue paper needed, just make sure it matches the color of your candle. Place the waxy side of the wax paper against your tissue paper...the goal is for the heat gun to melt the wax and the tissue paper to absorb it.

Thanks for asking, let me know if you have any other questions!

I like this because it is brief and to the point, thank-you for posting.

Couple of questions: Does it matter what type of ink you use? When you say scrapbook tissue paper, is that a special tissue paper or you can use any tissue paper? Is there a specific side of the wax paper that goes against the candle vs away from it?

Thanks!

I've seen other techniques on how to put things on candles, but I have never seen this one. It is by far the best. I love it and can't wait to try. Look out Dollar Store here I come! Thanks for sharing such a great idea. Keep them coming.
