My entry this week is a glass jar *yes, I have been scoffing more pickled onions!* that I altered using the Rock Candy Crackle technique - I love the crackle effect on the glass! The roses were made using Tim's Tattered Florals die and the Mini Tattered Florals Movers & Shapers die- cutting cream card, inking with Cracked Pistachio and Dusty Concord Distress Ink and overstamping with the Dusty Concord and a Studio 490 background stamp to add a bit of prettiness to them. There is a tutorial I did ages ago with a step by step on how to make these roses - doesn't matter whether they are the big or little ones... the tut will work for both... tis over there in the sidey bar *points left*
Once the roses were made, I fired up my Melt Pot and melted Clear UTEE into it... then dipped the roses into the clear UTEE to create a faux porcelain effect. The leaves are the Mini Tattered Leaves Movers & Shapers - also cut from cream card, inked with Peeled Paint DI and overstamped with Forest Moss DI... and also dipped into the clear UTEE. The sentiment is a Studio 490 stamp, popped onto another of Tim's dies - the Movers & Shapers Labels die.
What a gorgeous day it is here today... bright blue sky and sunshine... which means that I might nip into the garden for a few hours tidying and getting ready for autumn... the old cad Mojo is still not here all the time so while he is away, I shall get greenfingered instead of inkyfingered! I hope you have a grand day! Thanks for looking... TTFN

Very nice Hels, at first I thought it was a Yankee candle jar you had altered, now there is an idea for gifts 😊 love this xx
I love that colour combo suits me so well. I bought 4 smaller jars last week so you may just have inspired me xx
Hi Hels
Fantastic. Love the roses and the colours. Cracked pistachio is my favourite colour. I am inspired and intend to dust off my melt pot and get dipping.
Hugs from Chris XXX

Hi Hels this is a stunning creation I love the flowers they are beautiful. Have a great week. Hugs Jackie
what a gorgeous jar. i need to look up that crackle technique as i don't know it, hugs xx
Hi Hels,
Lovely, those two colours look stunning together. Those flowers make me want to get the melt pot out soon as I can, since your last post I have been looking at jars in the kitchen... even those big ones with the lids that are held on, used to keep pasta and cereal in them a few years back! I love the effect the crackle paint gives too, takes on the look of ceramics. Just lovely. Glad the weather allowed you to pop outside.
Hugs, T x
I wish I could come with the words to tell you just how fabulous your jar is. And your flowers really do look like fine china!! Fantastic!!
