Glass Vase

Saw this fun project on Splitcoast a couple of weeks ago, and I just had to try it. It was done using a Ball Jar and looked so fabulous! I had a small glass vase that I decided to try it out on. Just dab on Adirondak alcohol inks in your favorite colors (I used just 2 colors).
On the Splitcoast instructions, they brushed on Glossy Accents and I was about to do that, when a light bulb went off in my head and I decided to spray on some Goosebumps! Well - it turned out okay - but I think I'll try the brushing on of the Glossy Accents the next time LOL. You really can't control the spray well enough. At any rate, I sprinkled Sparkle N Sprinkle Sparkling Snow glitter over the wet Goosebumps and then brushed a little of it off.
I kind of fudged some purple felt flowers from a Spellbinders die cut and then found the Sizzix die that I knew I had somewhere but couldn't find. I think that means that my "rubber room" needs some rearranging. I sprayed a little Goosebumps spray on those and added glitter and hot glued a half pearl in the center. Tied some green seam binding over some lace - hot glued the flowers on and added a little tag from Stampin' Up. I think it turned out pretty well and was quite easy to do.

  4. That touch of lace really makes a difference! If you're not going to put water in it, you can always do the glitter thing on the inside LOL to go with the AIs! It's a lovely vase - and really looks great with the felt flowers! Thanks for sharing your experiment! So where will this vase be going?
