Charisma Cardz Challenge 27 - Alter It

Hi

Today, I have an entry for Charisma Cardz Challenge #27, which is to alter something.

Here's what I've done:

I started with two empty (and washed!!!) coffee jars - they're the ones from Douwe Egberts and have lovely glass lids -when they are empty and the labels have been soaked off, there is nothing on them anywhere to say they were coffee jars, so they're perfect for altering.

It is quite a simple "alter".

I used some patterned paper to make a wrap to go around the jars, I stuck this using silicone glue.

I stamped Magnolia's "New Year Edwin" and "Pink Tilda with Striped Tights" onto Manga Art Board and coloured them using my Copics.

I cut out my images and stuck them onto tags, which I cut using my Sizzix. I also put on some adhesive gems.

For the lids, I stamped and coloured the same Edwin and Tilda images as before. I then cut them out using circle Nesties. I also cut some circles from the same card I used for the tags and then simply layered them. I stuck them to the lids using silicone glue.

To attach the tags I used some elastic bands in matching colours.

I filled one with Minstrels and one with Smarties for the Jar Tombola at my boys' School Summer Fair.

Hope you like them.

Thanks for dropping by.

Hugs
