Papertrey Ink Make it Monday #242 and Case This Sketch #162

This week's make it Monday video over at Papertrey ink involves sponging on various inks onto your stamps to get a multi-colored blended image.  Check out Dawn's fabulous video here.

I decided to also participate in the latest Case this sketch challenge.

Here is my card:

I really struggled with this card.  I pulled out the striped pattern paper. I really wanted to use the pint jar stamp so I pulled the colors from the paper for my flowers. My original thought was  to place the jar on a banner type shape.  However, I stamped the jar too far down on the paper to do that.  So thus the scallop rectangle.  I originally wanted the striped paper to cover the entire card front.  For some reason this seemed too busy.  I'm still not sure I'm loving the layout of the card but I do love how the jar turned out.  I used 7 different stamp sets to complete this card.  The flowers I used were short stems so I used the balloon strings slightly curved to make stems. I used glossy accents on the jar to give it some shine like real glass.  I also put a little bit of watercolor pencil inside the jar to make it look like water and a little under the jar for a shadow.  A little bit of jute string finishes off the card.

WOW, Shelly, your attention to detail on this beautiful card is perfection. Very clever using balloon strings for the right length of stems. And, you're even linking your supplies like the DT does. I'm impressed.
