Thank you Marti! Now let’s see what you created for us!
I created a little gift set to encourage some relaxation for a friend - it is an embossed metal bucket lined with a stamped napkin. Then I filled it with a good book (Gate to
Women's Country), a some scented lotion, a decorated candle and a card with a little pocket for tea inside.
The napkin was stamped using VersaCraft Ink pads and colored with Fabrico Markers - both can be machine laundered with no fading - even when using bleach or washing in hot water. simply heat set with an iron when you are done. The ribbon is attached with iron on Heat-n-Bond. The pearls are done with Liquid Pearls.
The candle was a plain white candle. I simply took Alcohol Ink and covered the candle. then I adhered a ribbon around it and added some pearls with Liquid Pearls.
The adorable Florist Gilli on the card is colored using Prisma Colored Pencils. i cut the panel on the front using The Elegant Edges Cricut Cartridges. the pocket on the inside was cut using the Fabulous Finds Cricut Cartridge.
The two shimmering pink flower embellishments were made using Pardo Polymer Clay and a silicone mold. They are quite easy to do - in fact they are so easy you can see 4 year old Pezza making them and showing you how in this video*!
