Sparks Challenge- thanks bunches

Hi all!

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!
