Happy Sunday! I found a bit of crafty "me time" yesterday and made a card for this week's Sparks Challenge. This challenge this week is to incorporate sheer or clear elements. I came up with this card:
This card used Crystal Clear, Calico and Many Thanks. I used this technique that Betsy Veldman showcased on her blog a few weeks back to make my mason jar look a little more realistic. I die cut the jar from Hawaiian Shores paper and stamped the jar outline and the stems. I overlayed the jar with vellum and stamped and embossed "Ball" from Crystal Clear with clear powder.
Finally, I stamped Thanks Bunches onto a tag and tied it to the jar with twine.
The photo above shows the embossing a little better.
Well that's all for me today! Thanks for stopping by!
