Valentine Treat Jar

  

Hello my friends. As some of you know I got some new embossing powders yesterday on a shopping trip to Tuesday Morning. They were half off and they had some colors I did not own. I came home and try them out and was very satisfied. I had seen Tammy Tutterow do a glass votive jar a couple of times for the holiday seasons. I had also seen Wendy Vecchi play around with using alcohol ink on glass and metal. Now it was my turn.

I had a canning jar and decided to turn it into a treats jar for Valentine's Day. 

I sponged on some red geranium archival ink and embossed with the magenta ranger embossing powder. I spent a little time wiping the powder off the raised embossed  areas of the glass. I wanted to show the texture and thought it might work as a votive glass later. 

I created a tag for the label space on the front of the jar.
I stained some ribbon using Distress ink picked raspberry and spun sugar. 

Using a die from Tailored Expressions I cut the bird image from some DCWV shimmer paper and layered it on a piece of white card stock that had the edges distressed with picked raspberry Ink. 

Using the pinecone die from Tim Holtz's collection I created the rose decoration for the front. This was topped off with a Wink of Stella glitter pen.

Overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I have a few ideas about what I will do next time. Thanks for stopping by.

Stretch Your Stamps - day 7

Well friends, the weekend was short and I am pooped. Did a quick card today for the gallery. The theme was floral stamps And I do have quite a few of these. The card Jennifer made in the on line class had a lot if glitter and sparkle. I had recently purchased this set from Heartfelt Creations and it was my first pick for this class.  There is something satisfying about using things that are new and just waiting for you to create. I glittered the flowers and sparkle embossed the stamped swirl image.

I love these papers from DCWV.

Hope to see you tomorrow!
