Altered Gravy Pot

Altered Gravy Pot From This to....

This........ Vintage lady holder
Good morning another -5 frosty cold morning sorry i didnt get chance to upload yesterday.So here's the altered gravy pot.This is a swap im hosting alter something from your kitchen cupboard.Now alot of you kept asking how do you get rid of the smell.Well first wash it out this is cardboard pot, dry and then i add a lavendar bag into the pot cover and leave for few days and bingo hey presto no gravy smells!
I first covered the pot with Bo bunny "EtCetera Collection" distressed and stamped some sentiments randomly Artistic Stamper meaning of create.pl;us a couple from Timholtz.

Then i added this gorgeous bit of ribbon with beading work around the top.Ive had this in my crafty stash for while you know the feely touchy lushy one that you dont realy want to use...lol.


I found this beautiful image in my stash that i coated in crackle paint and left to dry for few days .Whilst i got on with the altered domino.which you will see further down in one of the piccies.Once crackle paint had dried i wanted lots on so did take some time you can help along with heat gun but wasnt in a rush so let it crack and dry by it self.I then rubbed down with dry baby wipe and added vintage photo distress inks ontop so the ink went into the cracks.
Hopefully close up in piccy below..(.you may have to click on it to enlarge and see better closeup)
I added tissue tape to cover up the seam of the paper where it over lapped and then added small vellum butterflies punched out with wee pearl on running down the tape

I added various embellishments around the pot ,from tags ,butterflies to charms and few extra pearls onto the ribbon around the top .

The wording DREAM i added glossy accents to to give abit of dimension.

The pot it self is stood on a round wooden piece of board whihc i sanded and then distressed with distress stain vintage photo and the glue guned it onto the base.
Well i hope you like the end result of my recycled altered art gravy pot.Before you throw anything away just take alook and see wether you can alter it!You will be surprised .This is now going off to my swap partner for her to hold her tools,pens ect on her craft desk so do hope she likes it!

Over at Sunday Stampers the lovely creative Hels Blog this weeks theme is :
Love

For a change I went with blues instead of the traditional Reds.

I used manila luggage tag,and covered it in Kaiser kraft Antique line paint

I then got my ohhhh so lush distress stains out and well went smoochy ,inky and creative on my craft sheet .With picket fence,broken China &weathered wood,dash splash of faded jeans.

I smooched the tag then dried with heat gun and continued the process until i had the colour and design i was happy with.

I then painted the wings from the tim holtz set of grunge mixed minis.Then added picket fence dried with heat gun repeated this again the got my saqurs clear pen around the edges and added Glamour dust to the wings .Whihc doesnt seem to show in photo very well.Tried to take closs up all got was bling blurr...lolI then stamped Tim Holtsz phrases from the Stuff to say set with
black Archival ink.
I then made a garland using flowers leaves i had from my stash .Sprayed with tattered Angels glimmer spray,along with some stickles to give the edges of the flowers a bit of shine & Bling.
I then added the Love tile to the centre of this and stuck the whole spray onto the bottom of the tag.
I added a beautiful cameo that ive had in my stash for ages.You know the one you take out stroke it ,look at it nope cant use that too nice .Well this time i have used it ..lol
Even though i say my self does go nicely with the tag.
Added chain from iderology collection to thats added some round beads
and the beautiful blue heart bead.

The ribbon i died with distress stains to co-ordinate with the tag.
