Technique Tuesday 3…on a Wednesday

Sorry…I’m a day behind the Technique Tuesday post. That’s what happens on vacation. I want to share a spotlighting technique using the Jar of Love stamp set.

THIS set is my favorite by far!! We LOVE mason jars at this house…well, the girls do anyways. We drink out of various sizes of these jars, we paint them, we use them for storing things, we make salads in them…you get the idea. So in honor of Samantha’s love of mason jars, we had them out at her bridal shower last weekend.mason-jar-1I’ll show you a couple of the cards we made for her next week, but for now I  wanted to show you the technique one. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this card. The use of the white ink on this card is brilliant.mason-jar-2First, the white craft ink is sponged on to make a cool background.

Second, the white craft ink is sponged around the THANK YOU greeting. It really makes it pop.

Thirdly, the jar is die cut out of night of navy cardstock and clear embossed. The white ink is sponged around the inside edges of the jar to give the jar some depth.

Finally, check out the firefly. Dab white ink onto the jar with a sponge dauber. Then use copper embossing powder to emboss the firefly. The white circle highlights the firefly image. How cool is that?!
