Jar of Love

I've always enjoyed canning jars. We used to have huge gardens and I loved to can so many delicious garden vegetables. I felt like a prisoner in a canning factory many summers. My days of canning are over, but I've collected a lot of antique jars throughout my lifetime, and I like to decorate with them now. So I couldn't wait to order the set Jar of Love in the new 2016-2017 Annual Catalog. The base of my card is Pool Party that is 4-1/4" x 11" and scored at 5-1/2" in the middle. I've attached a Serene Scenery DSP cut at 4" x 5-1/4" to the front of my card. The doily is sponged with Crumb cake to give an antique or tea-stain look. I stamped the jar on vellum with Stazon Black and let it dry completely before using a Pool Party marker on the back for the water inside my jar. I stamped the stems and leaves with Pear Pizzazz, the flowers are Pool Party, Bermuda Bay and Black Stazon for the centers. I cut them all out with the Everyday Jar Framelits in the Big Shot. I attached the flowers with Dimensionals and Glue Dots. The bow is Bermuda Bay.
