CAPTURED one fairy in a jar.

Hi All,
Kat here, AKA Kat's craft creations blog

OK, so strictly she is a ballet dancer & not a fairy
but don't hold that against me,
in my imagination she is a ballet dancing fairy (lol)

The design team focus is still on core'dinations card stock
so here's what I came up with,

I took a clean, empty coffee jar,

(something I have in abundance,

because my husband drinks coffee,like it's going out of fashion (lol)

& taped some fantasy film to the back side of the inside of the jar

(this makes your eye focus on whats inside the jar

instead of looking through it)

I then stuck flat back gems in blue & white to it.

Next I made an acetate stand to keep my fairy in place,

(I cut a circle, made a slit in the middle,

poked an oblong piece through it & bent & taped it)

to cover this I used fantasy fibers &

star & flower flat back gems as accents.

I stamped the dancer from dance stamp A5

designed by Sioux Jenneys,

the wings & bodice are stamped in Chipped Sapphire Distress ink

& blended with Faded Jeans distress Ink 

I gave her, her skin colour with a copic marker

cut & layered her, then stuck her to her stand

& placed it all inside the jar.

For the lid I used core'dinations card stock

I cut a circle ruffly twice the size of the lid

scored lines in it on a score board,

then sanded it with Tim's sanding grip

to revile the core.

I then placed it over the lid & secured it with an elastic band

I trimmed it with Idea-ology flower trim

For the tag,

I coloured it with the direct to paper technique &

Broken China Distress Ink

then stamped Baroque background stamp

in Faded Jeans Distress Ink 

I distressed the edges with Tim's Paper Distresser

Then adhered a label I made on my computer

with all the fairy facts on it, to the tag,

I used Metal Bead Chain to attach it to the lid

& embellished it with a metal butterfly

(off an old necklace)

stamps I used,

& there you go, job done,

Hope you like it!

Have a creative day,

catch you next time,
