Sweet Treats

Hallo,
I broke out the glass etching again on monday - trying to use up my stash of great jars I have found at thift shops lately....
This one would make a great cookie or treat jar.
I etched on all 4 sides - it is blue in the pictures because I put some tissue paper inside to try and make the etching show up better in my pics. The etching does show up alot better IRL - I just can't get it to show up as well in my pics.
I also decorated the cork lid - the words are partial stamps from 'Papertrey Ink" The paper is Basic Gray covering some chipboards pieces I have had for ohhh about 3/4 years - I am, really I am, trying to use up my stash of schtuff.....
The stamps I used are from Gina K, Stampin Up, Hero Arts , Stampendous and Rubber Nature.
I did a 'spring' side with a butterfly and daisy type flower from Gina K. The 'summer' side with flowers from Hero Arts and Stampendous. The 'fall' side is done with flowers from Gina K and a leaf from Rubber Nature. The 'winter' side is a pine cone and branch from Stampin Up.

All for today - see ya tomorrow.

Butterfly Believe

Hallo,
A little something for ya today that I have been working on and off and on for about 2 months.
This is a 5x7 canvus that I first started by painting it with gouche paints (halfway between watercolors and acrylics...) and then used gesso on one of my backrounders from Cornish Heritage Farms and stamped it on top - the backrounder is called Fiery Floral and you can find it here - www.cornishheritagefarms.com
Well then I couldn't decide what I wanted to do with it next so it has been sitting on a corner of my desk for a couple months. Last week when I was coloring these butterflys I noticed the colors were similar .....
Then I stamped on the canvus with stamps from Gina K and a butterfly from Stampendous.
I glued the butterfly from Inkadinkado down with gold shimmer mod podge and glued the fragment from Tim Holtz on top. I embossed the words on top of the fragment with copper embossing powder and glued some corners from Tim Holtz to 2 corners.

All for today - Have a great weekend!!!!

Purple clear card and tag

Hallo,
I did this clear card and gift tag monday when I was doing the pink one - I can never seem to do just one of anything. I chose the pink one to go with the bottle so I guess I need to make a project to go with these purple ones.....
The first picture is of the gift tag and the next 3 of the card. I stamped the flower (Stampendous) with black staz on onto white cardstock and colored it with koh i noor pencils and gamsol. Stamped the flower again on the clear sheet with white staz on and embellished with ribbon and trim, the dried flower comes from my Mom's garden - can't remeber what it is called at the moment...
One thing for sure is that the clear sheet cards are rather hard to get a good photo of!!!
All for today - going to enjoy my last day before going back to work by spending it at the craft table (at least til the kids get home - then its chores and a dip in the pool)

Clear card - pink

Hallo,
This is my first attempt at a clear card so it is rather simple - but its also made to match yesterdays bottle. The stamp is from 'Stampendous' and it is colored using koh i noor pencils and gamsol. I stamped the flower on craft cardstock. I used white staz on to stamp the flower onto the clear card and embellished with some old trim and a couple buttons.
The bottle from yesterday, gift tag and this card will be on the Etsy shop later today - http://www.stampqueen.etsy.com/
Thanks for looking - I am off to the craft table....I have a couple swaps to finish up on before my cruise and I have to go back to work on thursday (my goal was to have them done before I went back, but I got distracted by bottles...)
Take Care
