Charmed Cards and Crafts

Over at the 3C's it is the lovely Juliet's turn to set the challenges...
1. Alter a food container into something useful. Could be a coffee jar, tin, take away carton, pizza box -anything which you can recycle into something useful, but it's original purpose must have been to hold food.
Extra points for hand doodling.

2. Well it had to be a Valentines card didn't it? I know some of you have already made one, but make him another - you know he's worth it!!
The card must include the word 'love' and must have at least one heart on it.
Extra points for real stitching.
Extra points for using a bird on your card.

Here is my take on both challenges -

On the whole coffee jar I used, glass paints for the roses, alcohol inks around the jar and and lid, flowers and button on top of lid, ribbon around edge of lid, ribbon around jar and made a label - cash for stash and on the other side I used a penny and tape to say.. pennies make pounds, I used 3d tulip paint for a £ doodle.
