Altered Oatmea Canister

Thank goodness it's Friday!!

It's been a long week at work.

I am so happy to get in my art studio at the end of the day!

 

Today I wanted to share a small oatmeal canister I altered.

 

I'm using 3 of Retta's stencils!!

 

 

 

For the base paper I used plain cream cardstock. 

Starting with the cancer ribbon stencil I sponged Festive Berries distress ink.

Over top of that, I sponged purple pigment ink thru Retta's butterfly stencil.

 

I then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.

 The purple cardstock -I used Retta's Hope for a cure stencil in black archival ink.

 To make the purple butterfly pop out more, I outlined it with Tim Holtz distress marker in vintage photo.  I smeared the edges with a aqua painter.  The butterflies were cut using Martha Stewart monarch butterfly punch.
I had so much fun making this!  I love recycling something that's to be thrown away into something useful.

All the products in red can be found in Robyn's shop -Outlaw Women Scrapbook Emporium

All the prices are 20-25% less than retail EVERY DAY!!!!!

Have a super Friday and be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you think of my canister.

Thanks!

Christmas Gag Gift-Bathroom Plunger Remodeled

Every year our family plays a dirty Santa game.  We have to spend $10.  This year my husband had a great idea when he ran across a plunger at the Dollar Tree store.

He asked if I could decorate it and we'd tape $10 underneath it.

 

I had picked up some pine cones in the yard several weeks ago and put them in the oven to kill the bugs.  The sap was still running and very sticky!

I knew what I wanted to try.

 

I had Donnie cut some of the handle down.  He rounded the top edge.

 

I had cut a whole page of diamonds with my cricut cartridge. I used the background on another project.  I had 120 triangles left over!  (used 12x12 white cardstock)

 I spritzed them with these liquid pearls.  They were really light, but gives a definite glimmer and shine.

 I spray painted the bottom of the plunger in gold.  I painted the handle with Tim Holtz vintage photo distress paint.
I hot glued the diamonds with a small piece of vintage lace-each one all over each pine cone.  Was a little time consuming, but so worth it!  I used hot glue to glue them to the pine cone petals.

 I wrapped some gold wire (I had gotten it from dollar store a long time ago) The little mouse was in my stash as well as the gold wire ribbon.  I made me a bow easy with stiff cardboard so I could make a bigger bow and spread the layers.

 Here's a shot of the rear.  I had this greenery that I went around it with  I think it turned out pretty cute!  I put the money in a small envelope and taped it under the plunger!! LOL  Pretty cute gag gift huh?
