Layers and Layers

The theme of the challenge this week at Crafty Cardmakers is flowers. I decided to pull out my assortment die cuts and play layering them.

The card base and one of the flowers are Sizzix dies,  the sentiment is Tim Holtz  and I have forgotten who made the others dies. 

To complete the card I added some pearls.

Altered Tea Canister

 Welcome  to our second Splashy Mix Challenge.  

If you want to express your love for someone or something, then it's time to participate in our new challenge!

This is  our Mood board.




Here is my project, an altered wooden canister that I made for my husband's Valentine 's chocolates. 

This is what my box looked like before I altered it.

I sanded my box then removed the handle and painted the box with gesso. 

I then stamped the box with an French love poem. 

To complete my project I stenciled my box with hanging hearts and stars and  coloured it using acrylic paint, glitter glue and ink sprays, added my gems, several hearts, an Eiffel Tower to two sides. To the top of the canister I added a flower and a glass knob.
