I’d recently finished a bottle of supplements and noticed that , for once, I had a nice bottle with a nice metal lid without any weird colours or writing on it! Yeah, can you say embellishing opportunity! And then when I saw this week’s WMS sketch, I knew it would be perfect!
The sketch lent itself, I thought, to having a tag as the focal panel. I made the tiny little flower with a Cheery Lynn Cuties die, sorry, I don’t remember which one.
I decided not to do any distressing because I don’t know the recipient very well. This is for my future brother-in-law’s mother! I know there are a few people out there who think distressing looks dirty and I wouldn’t want her to think I make junk! I think I’ll fill it with some chocolates to accompany the thank you card I’m making for having an engagement party for my sister. My family doesn’t know his family so it was the first opportunity for us to meet them all and his is a BIG family as he is one of 7 kids and they are all older with their own families!
I am very pleased with the result. I love altering and decorating pretty found items and I feel so green doing so!

Enjoy, Rebecca

What a super idea! I do like the soft colours you've used and that label is just fabulous!
What a beautiful way to dress up an ordinary jar and turn it into an extra ordinary gift!

That's a really cute bottle. I'll admit, papercrafts are not my thing, but I do like to see what other people do. I especially like the label, it's really cute.
