For my card, I stamped the jar, then the village and masked it so I could stamp my tree. I colored those images. Then, I watercolored all around it in blue. When dry, added a bank of snow with the snow writer and next I splattered snow (Dr. Ph. Martin's-see above). In the end, I swiped some white paint on the church and in the sky to make it look like a real snow storm. Colored the jar lid with Copics and added twine.
Sentiment was added....finished.
My card is entered into the August Gallery Theme.. The central theme is: Contain Yourself. One idea was to use a jar, vase, bowl, box, etc.

Brenda, you chose a great Pinterest board for the challenge. Your card is so close to being identical to your inspiration piece. The winter scene is beautiful and the gold lid looks real. The coloring of the jar is beautiful and I love the snow. This is a beautiful Christmas card, my friend!

Fabulous little snowstorm jar, I can feel myself getting ready to shake it again when the snow settles! Love the golden lid and the twine detail to finish!
