Thinking of You

Howdy:

I have been using embellishments on my cards recently.  I have purchased many embellishments over the years or won them in card challenges - so it was time to start using them.  This jar I purchased on clearance at Michael's several years ago.

I surely do like those Fun acrylic flowers in the Jar which included the tag sentiment and gold twine.

 For the 3 layers on this card:
1. Recollection Leaf Patterned paper on top of the white card base for the mat. I cut the paper with a Stitched Rectangle Die
2. A stitched banner die [ Vagabond2 cutting machine] to cut 3 colors - Yellow Polk-a-dot, Green, and Brown Cardstock - I also added 3 gems on my second layer.
3. For the 3rd  layer I am using the 3D Foamed Acrylic Jar Sticker by Recollections.
Thanks for stopping by!

It would be an honor to share with:

Howdy Crafters- Don't ya just love it when you find something in your stash you have never used before??? I won a DRS Rubber Stamp Set a long time ago - The Sand Castle and Mermaid - this is my first time using it! Goofy Me! I sure like this stamp set - I also have a sentiment but I felt it did not fit this card [The sentiment is Sending you Sunshine] - but I will be using that in a future creations. Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed week.
