Tuesday Tutorial--A Reliquary

This is a project that I thought many of you would enjoy making.



As I design for Shabby Cottage Studio, I wanted to show you this because their awesome materials are featured in this piece.

I began with the lid of a jar and a Frozen Charlotte doll.


I inked the sides of the lid with Staz-On ink that was in my own supplies.


I used a graphic sheet from Shabby Cottage Studio and glued it inside.

Then, I added coffee-stained cheesecloth from my stash.

Finally, I added flowers from Shabby Cottage Studio, as well as a domino and some other embellishments from my stash.

I hope that you have enjoyed learning how to make this!

I have an EXCITING announcement coming in a few days...so stayed tune! (Hint: It is an opportunity for all of my visitors to "strut their stuff" for everyone to see!)
