For today's color challenge (Old, Calypso Lagoon) the dessert option is to use something recycled. For the jar I have used the plastic packaging from Cuttlebug B Plates. I like that it is sturdier than the transparencies sometimes used. Your Spellbinders dies will have the same type packaging. I adhered it with foam tape under the sentiment tag.
Thanks for taking a look and I hope you join in the challenge!

This is one of the prettiest cards I have seen in a while Becky!!! So beautifully done!! Not only is your coloring spectacular, but I really love the layout, and the papers you used. Your flowers don't have to fight with the other colors.

Spectacular colors today, Becky....and your card is equally as spectacular! The coloring of your poppy is exquisitely done and all backed by a lovely mix of patterned papers. Clever way to do the glass jar.

Oh, oh, oh my goodness! This card is gorgeous! It took me a minute to realize you used Plant With Hope! I had not envisioned using the images in this way, and I am in love with the concept! I can't wait to give it a try! Love your die cut borders, and of course, the clever way you created and mounted your vase.
