Here we have an old branston Pickle jar lol!  i decorated this jar with chalk paints and added epsom salts to a layer of Mod podge glue for the snow effect to the base and lid.

using alcohol ink pens i coloured up Gnome-more-waiting-clear-polymer-stamp/ and decorated the lid using the holly stamps from ho-ho-holly-christmas-stamp-collection-24-clear-polymer-stamp-set/ this jar could be used as a tea light holder or fill with some candy!. bye for now and happy crafting :-) Nelly x
