Don't know what it is about old canning jars... I have a collection of blue ones from the old farm in Iowa and when I see an image of one, I have to have it! I have empty jars stamps that I put bugs in (for a "Sorry about the bug you caught" sentiment) and to stuff with candy images, etc. And now this image called "Flower Jar" from Bugaboo. Perfect! This will do nicely for Monday's Craft Your Passion challenge "Floral Delights". I used two coordinating papers from Basic Grey and embellishments that kind of melt into the background so even though the details are there, the image remains a strong focal point. The image was printed out twice, colored with Copics, fussy cut the flowers and layered them with foam tape for dimension. (You can see that more in the close up below.)
The edges of all the panels have been inked with Distress Inks, the sheer orange ribbon with satin edges was added, the three graduated buttons and finally the lace ribbon around the bouquet. The label on the jar is empty so I added a simple "Enjoy" sentiment from a rubber stamp set.
This card is so versatile -
for Mother's Day, a Birthday or Just Because!
