This is for DTGD12StampingQueen JAR's challenge. It also qualifies for my challenge and TexasGrammy's challenge. I got the new Memory Box Small Canning Jar die this week and thought it would be fun to use for Judy's challenge. I wanted the canning jars to be filled with flowrs and for the stems to show so I cut them out of transparancy (did I spell that right?) and cut the lids out of copper paper. I used an alcohol marker (that's about all I can accomplish with these markers) to draw water lines on the jar so you could see there was actually a jar there. LOL! I cut thin pieces of green cardstock to fill the vases with stems and applied flowers to them. I double mounting the window, one layer of mounting tape for the window and one layer on the inside layer and attached from inside the card. I created the flowers jars before applying the inside layer. I wanted the main focus of the card to be the little jars of flowers so I used all white window and siding for the outside. This is so much cuter in real life than in the photo. Some cards are just hard to photograph. It was lots of fun anyway. My blog: http://kittiekraft.typepad.com/kittiekraft/

Love the way that you used this window die, Kittie - it really does look like a frame for what is inside. Your jars of flowers and swag are magnificent and your siding looks so real. Beautifully done as always, TFS
