Jar of Sunflowers Minus the Jar

Happy Saturday, peeps!  Hope you're all doing well and have something fun planned this weekend!  I have neglected the Jar of Flowers stamp set and wanted to create a card for a customer since she just purchased it!  I thought I would not  use the jar stamp itself, instead just using the image peeking out from behind some pretty DSP:


I used the sketch only from this week's Fusion challenge, as well as the colors from Color Hue:

I stamped the flowers in Saddle Brown Stazon ink so I could watercolor them with reinker inks.  I used Thick Very Vanilla cardstock for the card since it is a little more able to accept watercolor than regular weight cardstock.  I added a few speckles, and a scalloped border using some Crushed Curry Rustic Harvest DSP:


Then finished it off with a little Soft Suede DSP banner and some Linen Thread.  The sentiment is from Quiet Meadow.  You can't see it, but the centers of the flowers have also been accented with Wink of Stella!


Thank you so much for stopping by today!

So I convinced Dana to enter some of her crocheted projects at the fair this last week and we were both thrilled that she won ribbons for all five entries! (Forgive the glare; they exhibit everything under heavy plastic!)  This baby blanket won a first ribbon:


As did this hat and scarf set; don't you love that furry pompom?


This baby blanket won a third:


And so did this fun hat!


She also won a second for a pretty cowl, but I forgot to take a picture of that one!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

  1. This is one of my favorite posts as it has a beautiful card and needlework. Your card is a winner in my book. Can you tell me what stamp set you used for the splatters? The hats remind me of Dana and Cassidy! Have a blessed weekend.

  2. It's me again! I just realized you used Quiet Meadow. If I had looked at your chart, I would have known that. You sent me that chart template years ago and I have since lost it in the transfer of things from my old computer! I hate it when that happens!
