bittenbythebug2

happy monday! this weeks challenge at thebug2 is a garden challenge. create a card or project of something youd find in a garden using any cartridge. i made 2 projects for this a card and an altered jar.
be sure to check out the rest of our awesome DTS projects as always youll be totally inspired and amazed and of course we want you to play along too . we really love that! 
ill show you my card first
                                        i used walk in my garden for all of the cuts. 
                                                  i just love this little caterpillar :)
i used foam stickies under some of the leaves. i inked it all up with colorbox fluid chalk.
the b/g paper is dcwv.
                            and of course it aint a  done card til i add a cheesy saying ;) 
                                                          yeah i know...groan.....

                                                       now for my altered jar

 this was a real pain to photo, sorry. its really prettier in person. i used a real candle for the post but so it can actually be used i added a flameless tealight candle.
                                              can ya see the little bit of that tealight "flame"

                                               heres the flowers and leaves i added on top
i used accent essentials for these.i cut the image 3 times in increments then just moistened the shape then scrunched them up. i added spun sugar distress stickles and colorbox fluid chalk to them. i also added a bow using crinkle ribbon.
                i added paper doilys to the top and front using tea dye distress ink. pearls and some twine.
                               inside i added some tulle and ms punched butterflies. and some crimped paper.

thanks a million for stopping by for a visit your comments always make me smile, thank you for that :) have a great rest of day xxxshelly
