Hi! Well....These JARS were made for today's Ways To Use It Challenge: All Ruffled Up!
So...Since my husband will NOT spring for a new photo editing program, I'm stuck MAKING 2 of every 3-D item....
So...since I can't REACH my sewing machine, I had to FOLD the ruffled paper, then pierce it, THEN HAND SEW it!!! HAND SEW!!! My hands are KILLING me! (It's the center band around the jar!)
SEW... LOL! I decided to use my little birdie from Flourishes' Love Nest along with the Cake Stand from Cake Decorating 101 (Bird bath!) to decorate these jars.
The images were stamped in Basic Black and colored with SU! markers. The right facing birdies are actually REVERSE Stamped...(I stamped them on acetate and then rubbed Whisper White paper on the stamped acetate images. Then, I outlined them, colored them in, and cut them out!)
The paper around the jars is stamped with a small flourish in the Siberian Iris Set from Flourishes in Chocolate Chip.
Circles were cut with the Coluzzle. Dots were added with a Marker and Signo Pen.

You do make it look so easy, but I have to say handsewing, did it once on a card I never posted might just do it someday... Beautiful work Faith. The fondnest for your work always show, it's in the details, the string and those famous dots. TFS
