Using Etchall and mica powders

Hi guys hope you are all well, sorry I have not been on  since 
Going to the NEC I have not been to good.
But now better.I got loads of goodies and had a fantastic time with Tina,
Now to this blog. have not re etched befor thought it would be a good idea. 

I used the Dip'n'etch liquid for this one as the jar is small,
I took my a plastic bowl and added the jar, then I filled the bowl
with water till the jar was covered, and marked the bowl with a marker so
I could see where I needed to put the dip.








Once the dip is added you leave it for 15 min,
Then you take the jar out shake off excess liquid.  




Once this is done using a bottle cut of top and use as a funnel 
to pour dip back into bottle (ALWAYS ADD IT TO ITS OWN BOTTLE)
and you have it for next time, that's what's great is you can reuse over and over.






Now You have done that take your bottle and wash off the dip,
then dry it well.


Now I have the bottle etched and dry I added some Versa mark to the bottle
and dabbed some mica powder over using gold and perlised white 
I did this all round the bottle and then keepet dabbing till all the bottle is done.

Then I added some embellishments to finish.
Pop over to Etchall they are doing free p&p on $100.or more

And don't forget to tell them I sent you when you get to the checkout.

Thank you for stopping by

 Love And Hugs

BLOG HOP LIST



 I used the shabby chic kit and Graphic 45 12 Days of Christmas 

I took the large piece of lace and cut in half length ways
then ruffled it with a straight stitch.  

 I did not gather it as much as you would if you was making a flower.
 I took the striped paper and glued it in place with hot glue on the ends 
Then I took the drops on ribbon from the shabby chic lit 
and glued it round the top of the jar.
 I then added the appliqué flower and glued it on top if a bit of 
green organza  for the tails.
 I then added some of  the G45 paper added it to a thick bit of card 
And added more lace round the edging. I took some gray board
 and added one of the pockets to it so it stood up then added a small doily
 and a few flowers to finish and some of the bling & 2 pearls from the shabby chic kit.
Before I forget I did not glue the jar down.
You only have a few days felt to sign up for the kits.

Hope you all enjoyed this sweet thing 

Thank you for stopping by

Hugs & Love
