"Pretty Jar of Daisies" Card



Hello All!

Awhile back I bought an adorable set of stamps illustrated by: Laurie Wilson, called "Every Day Jar-gon" from Clear Dollar Stamps but had not had a chance to use it. I made the time today, and I think the card turned out kind of nice. There are so many different stamps with the set, I thought I would post a picture for you to see.



I can't wait to make some other cards with this set. It is so versatile!



I used heavy clear embossing powder on the jar and held it in a curve as it cooled, making it look rounded. I also stamped out extra daisies and popped some of them several times. I took a couple of close-ups so you can see the details. Remember, you can click on the pictures to enlarge. I about went cross-eyed before I finished cutting out all of the tiny daisies! LOL!



I am entering this card in the following challenges:

The strip across the middle has text on it!

    How pretty. I love the decoupaged daisies and the "glass" jar. A lot of work but it shows through. Thanks for playing along.

    Neat how the stamp set is designed to make the objects look different for each card. Ex. the cookie jar made into a jar for flowers!

    What a beautiful card, True. Your attention to detail is amazing, even down to the curved jar. I love those daisies and the heavy inking around the scalloped ovals. Gorgeous!!
