Today's Mixability Challenge is an inspiration with beautiful colors and pumpkins. I decided that it would be fun for Dina's challenge today to use her Falliday Fest tutorial for a mason jar topper with the inspiration. I had already prepped my cross-stitch fabric with 2 coats of Gesso and used my Nestabilities circles for the camvas and template. Somehow my circle was too small in the end. Will have to reread for the next try. I ended up cutting an extra canvas and glued that over the felt then the colored piece. I stamped with Timber Brown Stazon and was glad to be using the MISTI to stamp an extra time or two for better coverage. I colored with colored pencils and blended with a blender pen. I had a wood leaf for an accent but it was an ugly lime green so I painted over it with Pumpkin then after drying added some Terra Cotta paint. I used a Bronze Sharpie to go over the vein lines. I die cut 4 acorns in Kraft and stamped with the lines from Gorgeous Grunge for the cross hatched top and then cut two for that layer. I stamped a bit of spatter on the body of the acorn and sponged the edges after gluing it together. I cut 3 sentiments and glued them onto a piece of burlap. I had intended to hang this too, but I decided to glue it to the jar instead. This also fits in today's Free for All challenge to add fiber. I've got fabric, burlap and twine.

This turned out beautiful! I have got to try this lid. I could totally make this for my sister who does a ton of mason jars for salsa. She would totally love this to put on the jars she does for me. Super job!!!
