I had a fun time creating this birthday card for a very dear friend. Hope she enjoys it!
Found the inspiration on Pinterest, of course! I used the Gina K Designs stamp sets, Buds And Vases, Enjoy The Sunshine, and Stamper's Favorites. I stamped and colored the jar with Copic Markers and then fussy cut it out. I then stamped the flower image where I wanted it and then masking the card base stamped it again so the stems would be 'in' the jar. I really should have extended the stems but I am afraid to do it now and mess it all up.....know what I mean? lol Tied a wee bit of pink gingham ribbon around the jar and adhered it to the base. Flowers were also colored with Copic Markers and each center has a bit of Sakura Yellow Glitter Pen to add a bit of shine and sparkle. Grabbed some of my beading supplies and glued a bunch of white/clear beads to the jar base to act as the 'marbles' (this is why I should have extended the stems--oh well). Stamped the sentiment in Melon Mambo Ink, from Stampin' Up!
Just a fun card to design for a fun gal I know!

ReplyDeleteLove your card--I love anything with flowers, and especially a jar, too. Looks awesome! Your beads are the perfect touch. Hope the weather is better now. I remember my year in Boston and how cold it was! Brrrrr!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing. I think the ribbon covers the stems not hitting the bottom of the vase, and I love the effect you got with the beads. Good job on a CAS card.
