In 2011, I have promised myself that I will step outside of my comfort zone, and try new styles while stamping. I love the look of vintage, or shabby chic cards, but have yet to master the look myself. I sort of had that in head as I created this card, and I think I think how it turned out (though I still have a LONG way to go as far as shabby chic goes!). If you are a member of the Papertrey Ink message boards, you many have read a time or two (*wink*), about how much I love their Friendship Jar series of stamps. Many of us are wishing and hoping for some Valentine's fillers, and I am sure they will be offered sooner or later, but I challenged myself to find something I could use within my current collection. I decided to try out the "be mine" image from the 2010 Love tags, and the "stick" fillers from the Fall Fillers set. I also used the postmark image from the 2010 Love Tags set to make the jar label. A little snippet of a paper doily, inked to show detail, and VOILA! :)
Supplies (all PTI unless noted):
Stamps: Friendship Jar, Friendship Jar Fall Fillers, 2010 Love Tags
Ink: Dark Chocolate, Scarlet Jewel
Paper: Sweet Blush, Scarlet Jewel, Stampers Select White
Other: Friendship Jar die, Jar Toppers die, Paper Doily
This is so creative! What a fun idea to add the Love Tags hearts with the jars. Very cute card!!
ReplyDeletelove this idea!! really sweet card!
ReplyDeleteWhat a LOVELY card, Audrey. Very creative too.
ReplyDeleteVery clever, Audrey! And I love the doily touch!
ReplyDeleteGreat job of finding images in current sets that work really well for a Valentine card. Love that doily in the corner.
ReplyDeleteI am scolding myself for not thinking of this! You are so smart and creative. This looks like something Mish would create for her Friendship Jar series. I love the doily in the corner of the card. Great job, Audrey.
ReplyDeleteI think that you could design the Valentine's filler set. This combination of images looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteOh My, this is so pretty and innovative. I must say, you really know how to use those jars and I dare say that they have never looked so good. I agree with Nancy, you totally have to design the PTI Valentine's Fillers set. I'd buy it in a hot minute.
