Just finished another week of grands, before they start school. 3 under the age of 10 and
3 in their teens. It's been nonstop, from morning 'till night.
But today was goodby in the morning, and time to play in the craft cave! Yay!
It's my first time to play with Betsy's mason jar, and sunflower dies. I wasn't able to
get the jar on release night, and Betsy let me know when it was restocked, so I
couldn't wait to order it! I've just drooled over each and every card
all of you have done!
The sunflowers all began cut from white cardstock and Copic colored. I LOVE how full of
dimension they become when layered together!
Next came the much waited for jar... what color to make my mason jar?
The jar is a 3 step process of stamping, and I decided to try to give my new treasure an
inking from 3 different companies, PTI, Catherine Pooler and Altenew.
I also left off the firststep on a few to create a clearer jar in each color way.
It's a great way to spend an afternoon,
just a favorite stamp set, a misti, and colorful inks! (you can't see it, but each color is
listed on the back of each stamped jar). I also drew in a few stems with colored pencils.
The jar is actually the brighter pink in the first picture.
The sunflowers closeup, and you can see all the layers, and color possibilities.
Blue sunflowers? Why not!
Have to say, the new Crimped Frame die is a favorite. I made my background paper
from Poppystamps: Picnic Plaid, an all over stamp.
It helps to have a juicy ink pad for all over
coverage. The pink is CP It's A Girl, and the greens are CP Melon Ice and
Altenew Limeaid.
With the exception of laundry, I have no other plans for the rest of the day~ Bliss!
