Bath Salts Decorated Jar

Hello, everyone.  Today I've made bath salts in a decorated jar for a Christmas gift.  I was inspired by the "12 Days of Christmas" challenges going on at Mark's Finest Papers - I've been having fun tackling the projects in the 12-day challenge.  I've never made bath salts before - you can find the MFP tutorial here.  I decided to go with a lavender scent and used essential oil of lavender.   I referred to a different recipe than on the tutorial because the person to whom I'm giving the bath salts has sensitive skin so I didn't want to use any colouring.  In any event, the bath salts look like snow for my snowman LOL.



Here are the supplies used:
  • Stamps: Snowman (Sunshine Designs), sentiment (Studio G clear stamps)
  • Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black
  • Coloured pencils:  Prismacolor
  • Glitter glue:  Stickles Icicle
  • Cardstock:  Recollections
  • Dies:  Nellie's Multiframes - Circles (3 circles used)
  • Jar:  I had an empty jar in my kitchen cupboard
  • Ribbon:  Maya Road
  • Bath salts recipe:  The Idea Room 
  • Lavender essential oil:  Aura Cacia
I would like to enter the following challenges:
