Hi there,
Today I am sharing a card using the new Thinking of You Set 769 and an old favorite of mine - Fill the Jar Set 423.
I started by stamping the flowers in black Archival Ink before I painted them with the Art Anthology paints, which I had picked up at a Convention a couple of months ago.
This paint goes on nice and thick, so it gave the flowers some nice dimension.
I fussy cut them out and applied Dimensional Glue to the centers of the flowers for the gold prills. For the background I ran white cardstock through the Sizzix Dot Matrix Embossing Folder and then I spray painted through the Plaid Ditsy Floral Plastic Stencil using the Art Anthology Sprays.
The jar was stamped in Versamark on Vellum and was then heat embossed with Ice. It was then cut out.
Then I filled in the jar using the Versamarker and more of the Ice embossing powder.
The sentiment from the the Thinking of You Set was stamped inside one of the labels from the Fill the Jar Set in Versamark. They were heat embossed with Black Detail.
The flowers were popped up with Dimensional Foam and taped down at the base. The jar was then attached with tape behind the label, and across the neck of the jar. A sheer yellow ribbon was tied in a bow around the neck, hiding the tape. The card front was layered to a black card base to finish.
Thanks for stopping by.
Till next time,
Shona

These are all gorgeous! Looks like you had a lot of fun making them. I've seen the Art Anthology paint on line and now I want/need some :-). Love that you placed the flowers in the mason jar.
ReplyDeleteStunning look to these pretty flowers, and I'm loving that jar! I can feel another embossing enablement coming, as this Ice is perfect for the look on that jar. Also don't have any prills..which really sparkle on the centers. The Art Anthology is another new thing to me, but it's amazingly used in your talented hands! TFS & happy wkend. Hugs.
