Hello to all my Blogger friends. It's that time of the month for
'Trend Week' at Just Us Girls
and Judy is this weeks Host choosing Jars.
Now I did have a few concerns with this one. I knew
I had a small mason jar stamp but then found a
die which luckily arrived in my mailbox in time to use
for my card. My first attempt was a shaker - wrong choice
it landed - you know where. My second attempt I wasn't
completely satisfied with either until after I made the
third one (which is above)
***
Here is how I made it -
Starting with basic white card stock I then got out
a stencil adding texture paste and inking slightly after it dried.
Added a few strips of DP to the bottom then attached my popped
mason jar which I covered with a floral vellum.
My leaves are from Kaisercraft and Marianne Designs.
Flowers are Martha Stewart.
Filled in the centre of the flowers and
added my heat embossed Hello sentiment
from Inspired by Stamping.

Won't go into too much detail -
I added buttons to the top of the die and they looked
so bright - added some vellum (click) over the top so now
it doesn't look so bad. Thought it would make a nice
birthday card for a sewing friend.
