I will announce the winner on Monday, the 5th.
And here's the card I wanted to share with you....
I was inspired by a photo I saw in a magazine of Christmas lights in a mason jar
and wanted to recreate this look on a card.
To start, I inked some Bazzill CS White Cardstock with some Harvest Gold ink
and my Tim Holtz blending tool, to create the glow.
Then I diecut the Lawn Fawn Summertime Charm jar from the white cardstock
and adhered it to a second piece of white cardstock that I'd be using to mat my card.
I diecut the lights from PTI Harvest Gold card stock using the die from PTI's Shaker Shapes: Tree
and heat embossed the string in white using PTI's Sparkle & Shine Holiday stamp set.
I stamped the bulbs in Harvest Gold and adhered the two strings to the jar diecut.
I layered a piece of Bazzill Platinum Vellum over top.
I stamped the flower and boughs using PTI's Tinsel & Tags stamps and dies
and tied a bow using some PTI Rustic Cream Button Twine.
Before adhering the diecut, inked panel over top, I added the diecut Shine (also from PTI,
which I diecut from some Bazzill Wax Lips Cardstock.
I stamped the "Bright" (from PTI's Sparkle & Shine stamp set), the "in" (from PTI's Monthly Moments:Tabbed stamp set) and the date using the numbers from PTI's Get Lost stamp set.
Here's a close up of the lights in the jar...
