Easter present for a diabetic

 
 
I found the most amazing things at Ally Pally show last weekend.
This is my first project, which will be a present for my diabetic mother in law.
It will also be my entry for this months http://blog.laviniastamps.com/ Spring colours.
 
 
This is the MDF jam jar that I bought from Anna Marie Designs

 
I've added a small note book and pen

 
I've used Lavinia stamps to create the boarder around the edge with gilding flakes
Forest Glade from Imagination crafts

 
I've also used a verse from Lavinia along with the Zen Butterfly and a stamps away mask
 

 
I've used the Toadstool houses and some Lavinia fairies and used mica powders to colour
The board was painted with Deco chalk paint, a piece of blue gingham and some lace ribbon, a feather and a few flowers.  I'm hoping this will be an acceptable entry to this months challenge.

  2. Thanks Eileen. The paint was good to use and took the stamps well. I really wanted a plain fronted note pad but was unable to find one, but this was the nearest colour match to the base paint. xx
