it's all in the embellishments!




















Here is a fun, easy and cheap embellishment. You can purchase or recycle a bottle cap.


First thing you need to do is flatten your bottle cap. You can do this in many different ways. I use my Sixxiz machine to flatten mine.











Next you want to stamp an image or use a sticker that will fit inside of your bottle cap. I used a snowflake stamp here. and a 1" circle punch to punch out the shape



Add a very small amount of 3-D Crystal Lacquer to the inside of the bottle cap. Very little this is your adhesive for your stamp image. Set aside for about 5 minutes to set up. I use my finger to make sure there are not air bubbles trap below the image.









First off - VERY sorry this photo is blurry... But I think you see what you need to.
After i let my 3-D Crystal Lacquer dry for a few minutes. I add more 3-D Crystal Lacquer to the top of the image. I start by going around the edge of the image and fill in the center. This works the best for me.
Options: you can add glitter to the wet 3-D Crystal Lacquer if you want. This project I did add some bling...




Here is the finished project I made. Full direction for this will be on my Blog on the 15th of December. This is a winter or Christmas tag, But you can make this embellishment for any project. Thing about the possibilities... Altered books, Scrapbook pages, magnets, ATC, and the list goes on and on......
