Life is Sweeter

Happy Saturday!

We are having beautiful weather here YAY! Beautiful weather makes me think of picnics and picnics make me think of gingham which led me to the Moxie Fabs Gingham challenge :)

Plus I just received the Hero Arts Picnic stamp set in the mail. I just HAD to put it to good use! There is this little mason jar in the set that I simply adore. SO many ideas for that little guy. Today I'm sharing one of them.


So I started by stamping and masking my jar of strawberries. I also stamped two on an extra piece of white and trimmed them out. I colored them with my copics. Sorry I don't know the numbers off hand, I'll add them later. Once my jar was colored I coated it in glossy accents then added some silver metallic pen to the lid.

The rest is pretty simple. I laid down my patterned paper (yay me!) flat to the white card base and rounded the right corners On a white panel I added a strip of blue (colored with my copic) then adhered the jar and strawberries with dimensional adhesive. The sentiment is from Hero Arts Friends set. I did a little masking to have my "Sweeter" stamped in Hero Arts Punch chalk ink. Last, I added that panel with more dimensional adhesive to my cardbase.Oh and that patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye Howdy Doody collection, LOVE!

That's it for me :) Thanks for having a look, hope you have a great weekend!!
