mothersday gift

Here's a mothersday gift idea, easy and fun to make. I used 2 bottles of bath salt, a piece of soap, a scented candle and a box (which was a box that used to have a baby photoframe in it, I got it from a friend. I 've got all my friends and family trained to ask me if I can use things first,  before they throw it in the bin LOL)

The box was mint green allready so just had to decorate it a bit.

I used mint green and pink patterned paper and a die cut to decorate the box and the bottles, the soap was put into an organza giftbag and had a tag attached to it.

The digi's used are all Rick St. Dennis gorgeous hat ladies, I love colouring these ladies, and for this project I used the colours of the soapies, the candle and the box.
 So just used pink, purple, mintgreen, and ofcourse skin colour and some different colours for the hair. Colouring the hair is my fav part to colour on these ladies, specially the red hair, cause I think blond is more difficult to colour. The part I have the most trouble with is the make up of the ladies. (BTW you can find all the beautiful ladies I used on a special sale on the Sparkle and Glitter blog, so you'd better run and go and get it , cause it will be there for a limited time)

When they are all coloured, cut them out and glued them to the bottles, the candle, the tag and the box. Added some lace to the bottles and the tag. The box has also some roses and Pearls on it.

 

 

 

remember these 5 hat lady images are on a speciale sale for a limited time here
