This is going to be a very busy day and night – quilt guild
meeting – so I though I’d get an early posting in. Tomorrow will be the last
nice day for a few days – more rain coming our way so tomorrow will be yard
work day.
Today’s card was made with my new-to-me stamp from Close to My
Heart. I bought several discontinued sets along with a couple new ones from the
dealer and I do believe this one has been discontinued.
The canning jar was stamped on velum with the dark blue ink. The
little butterflies and dragonflies and the hearts were part of the stamp set
and were stamped on white cardstock. The velum lid and bottom were coloured
lightly with alcohol markers and then glued to the stamped cardstock. It turns
out that the glue runners from Dollarama do not show under velum – surprising
but true. The white cardstock was carefully cut to match the velum. The yellow
and blue papers were from my stash and they were glued to the card base. The
decorative strip was made with a M.S. punch. I wanted the jar to look like the
butterflies and dragonflies were flying around and moving it so I put it on an
angle. The sentiment was also part of the set and the tag is a QuicKutz die.
The fancy ribbon just added to the playful card. The top right needed a little
something so I added a hand cut banner and a yellow gem. The blue banner, blue
dragonfly and the blue ribbon form the invisible triangle which keeps the eye
moving around the card.
That’s all for a sunny but cool Wednesday. It would be a nicer
day if the wind wasn’t coming from the North. It’s a big drop in temperature
from the weekend but that’s life in Ontario.
Cheers
Violet
