I love the new Country Home stamp set in the Stampin’ Up!® Holiday Catalog, but I kind of didn’t want to color it. (Shhh!) So, I turned to the Jar of Love Stamp set and coordinating Everyday Jars Framelits to pair with the sentiments in the Country Home set. It ended up taking on a life of it’s own with all of the shapes and layers and I totally love it!
For the flowers, I “stamped off” the base of the flower in Blackberry Bliss ink and then added the little detail full-strength. Wink of Stella provided a little shimmer accent. I added some to the flowers and all to the “water” in the jar, before covering that element with some clear liquid glue for the “watery” effect.
So, what was my fourth color? Well, I guess it could be one of two. I colored the pearls in the center of the flowers with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. It’s a tiny pop of color but it works. I’m not sure that “silver” qualifies as another “color” but I added it to the jar lid and used some of the Chicken Wire Elements. I actually meant to add more yellow to the card but got a little wrapped up in the other details. This one took a while to create…I’m not going to tell you how long though. Suffice to say I really need to pay more attention to the clock when I’m stamping. Thank goodness for Netflix! (What are YOU currently watching?)
Finally, I heat embossed the sentiment from Country Home on the Hardwood stamped background. How awesome is that sentiment? A wonderful reminder. I popped up some ruffles in the ribbon and finally decided that the details were finalized. What time is it?? Ha ha! I’ll add the supplies I used at the end of the post.

I LOVE this card, just as I love this colour combination. I can see it's taken time to create but so, so worth the effort. Each detail adds to the whole, from the hardwood stamp to the just-right ruching of the ribbon. The chicken wire and the vellum tucked in at the back - wow! What a marvelous creation!
