Catching fireflies is the inspiration for this next card I am going to show you:
I love the Perfectly Preserved Stamp set in the new Holiday Mini catalogue! It is so verasatile, just like real mason jars. They can hold everything from flowers, food to fireflies and look so pleasant while they're doing it! The other stamp set I used is called From My Heart, from the main Idea Book and Catalogue. I love the vintage feel of these 8 stamps. I created this card to enter in The Paper Players colour challenge #108.
Ann Schach challenged us with these 3 colours:
And where do the fireflies come in? As I added the little flower clumps to the jar, they totally made me think of fireflies in a mason jar, so I added a few tiny rhinestones to make them light up! I used the owl punch to make the tiny Cherry Cobbler hearts.
The background is made with Cherry Cobbler Core'dinations card stock. I embossed it with my favourite embossing folder, Fancy Fan, and sanded it to bring out the lighter core of the cardstock. It does such a nice job of enhancing an embossed design. This is a new product in the Holiday Mini.
I popped the mason jar up on dimensionals. I originally tied a piece of Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine on the lid cover of the jar, but decided it looked better without.
So, before you go, can you leave a comment telling me where I can go to catch fireflies??
