J is for Jasmine

So, we're half way through our I and J challenge over at Use Your Craft Stash on FB. I did "I" last week, so here's my J. A "Just for You" Jar of Jasmine, with Jewels - and a bit of Jade green thrown in for good measure.

I started with the jasmine flowers. I used Crafter's Companion White Flower Forming foam, with dies from Crafter's Companion Classiques Forget Me Knot, Pretty Petal (Crafter's Inspiration 6) and Flowers For All Occasions 2.

I used my Spectrum Aqua Jasmine pen to colour the centre of the flowers, and to colour the white stamens to match.

I embossed a piece of white stamping card with CC 3D Rose Bouquet folder - for the jar! I coloured the leaves with Spectrum Noir pens - LG5, JG1 and JG6 (JG= Jade green).  You can see my little swatch at the bottom of the card. I then mixed Imagination Crafts Alchemy Wax in Peridot, with a bit of water, and painted the stems and swirls.

I used the Jasmine Aqua pen to put a wash over all the flowers and the ribbon, and the Charcoal Aqua pen on the jar.

I painted over the jar with glossy accents to give it a more glassy appearance.

I then stuck the jasmine flowers over the roses on the folder, with leaves cut from a small die that came with the CC Advent calendar a few years ago. I finished it with a big bow and some green jewels!! 

We look forward to seeing all your makes!

Happy crafting.
