Valentine's Jar

Do you ever get an idea and just have to run with it? I do. Sometimes inspiration strikes me at the oddest times and once the seed is planted in my head, I have to do something about it! I have been on an "altering glass bottles kick" lately!  I decided that making a Valentine bottle was absolutely necessary!  (To see my other altered bottles click HERE and HERE!) I used red alcohol ink and a bit of gold all over the bottle and lid.  I adhered blue lace around the top of the bottle and tied seam binding, twine, and some polka dotted tulle.

I created a "puffy" heart with felt and Spellbinder's heart dies.  I used a blanket stitch around the perimeter in red thread and stuffed it right before closing it with a bit of batting.  The flower was cut with a Sizzix die and cream felt.  I glued it on an angle so it looked like it was dangling right from the bow I had created. I rubbed the stick pins with a bit glossy accents and glittered up those babies too! ; )

......and yes.....I did glitter the felt puffy heart........I just couldn't resist!

.....and a bit of glitter at the bottom of the glass too........

Don't forget today is the last day to enter my giveaway HERE!  I will pick a winner tonight at 10 PM.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!
