Good morning dear friends! It's Tuesday, so that means another challenge at Shopping Our Stash!
This week our theme is "Out of a Jar". Now, bear with me folks....I took this literally, but what was in my jar was may not be what you would be thinking.
Here's my card. I used some beautiful paper from MME as well as the beautiful floral image from Janet at Digital Paper. This is one of four in a set from her. Isn't it gorgeous? I used my new Tim Holtz post card embossing folder. You can't see much of it but I LOVE it and can't wait to use it again. Now, the jar thing. See the beautiful lace at the top? And the 3 heart buttons? I have some old Ball canning jars on a shelf over my work table. I keep small bits of lace in one, ribbon snippets in another and buttons in a third. So, there you have it. From my jars I pulled lace and buttons! Lame, I know, but true! The flowers are Prima and Wild Orchid. The sentiment is PTI and the tag I stamped it on is a new die from Becca Feeken at Amazing Paper Grace. The brad is from my stash.
The polka dot paper is the back of the script paper (MME).
Here's another view.
I am entering my card in the challenge at:
CLP - since I used their gorgeous sketch again.
I think that's about it. Pull out your stash and play along! Thanks for taking a peek!
Blessings & Hugs,
Michelle
How is that lame??? I think it's awesome that you busted some stash AND that you keep it somewhere prettier than my basket under the desk ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the embossing - and the heart buttons are so sweet!
Michelle, your card is gorgeous inside and out! So many lovely details! I would have a difficult time cutting into that beautiful lace - thus my hoarded stash!
ReplyDeleteau contraire, i think that is a BRILLIANT interpretation of the "jar" challenge, plus i bet those vintage jars look AMAZING holding such pretty treasures!!! plus, who could quibble with ANYTHING about such a gorgeous and ethereal card anyway??! not i, certainly! ♥♥♥!
ReplyDelete(btw i'm awarding bonus ninja points for the fact that the word "JAR-diniErs" appears actually ON THE CARD; which, yes, i realize means GARDENERS in french and has nothing to do with jars at all, but it's still an AWESOME visual joke!!!!!!!!!) :)
Hi Michelle, your card is so lovely. I really love the pink flowers in your design ... gorgeous! Thanks for joining the CLP Sketch challenge, hope to see you again.
