Altered Salsa Jar

I've been working on getting this jar all done up and decorated for the past few days.
Normally I just wash out our salsa or spaghetti jars and throw them in the recycle, but I decided to try and do something with this one.

So I pulled out my white acrylic paint and started adding layers.  Using spray paint probably would have been better and prettier, but the acrylic was what I had on hand and was faster/less messy.

Because it's all white, my camera had a little trouble taking good pics..so I apologize for that.
I have no idea what I'm going to use this jar for yet, but I knew that I wanted to use this fun Genie image from Saturated Canary.  I bought this stamp sometime around May and still haven't inked it up...so decided it was time!

I colored it in with my ShinHan markers and layered it onto a scallop cut oval.  I was a little sketchy about the skin color at first...it seemed really yellow and made her look like she had jaundice.  But once I got all the other colors added to the image, that yellow was muted out.  I loved coloring her hair pink!  It's a bit brighter than I was expecting, but it still looks super awesome!!

I added a heart shaped doily behind the frame just for some added sweetness.  Then used a Martha Stewart Lace Edge punch to make my border for around the jar. Layered that with some pink leopard print paper (of course!) and 2 layers of coordinating ribbon, which I also made a nice big bow with.

For the top, I cut out a scallop circle and layered on the genie bottle from the stamp set.  I've added some kaleidoscope embossing powder to both the top and the image for some extra sparkle.  The stamped sentiment says "May all your wishes come true."  I tried to make it look like it was in a smoke cloud with my chalks, but that didn't turn out too well...

Then just added some pearls around the image and it was done!  And I love it :)
