Saturday! Glorious Saturday! Hi everybody...hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I've been holed up in the craft room all day with Mr. Buddy. We're watching Mad Men Season 3 on DVD getting ready for the Season 4 premiere tomorrow night! That Don Draper is dreamy...and a total cad! Does anyone else remember the office party with the tractor? Just sayin' - brilliant television!
I finally got my craft on this week! Yay! The first card I made today is my entry for the Shabby Tea Room Blog Challenge #19. It's been too long since I entered their challenge. Glad to be back! The theme for this week is "From the Garden" using Red, White, Yellow and Green colors. I got the idea instanty to use the PTI Friendship Jar set with the pretty daisies...fresh from the garden. Hope you likey.
All the stamps are from Papertrey Ink...love that company, don't you? Lots of cutting on this one...the label, the top flower, the scallop red lining on the jar, the bee...
I really wanted the flowers to look like white daisies but it seemed strange to leave them all white. I used my lightest yellow Copics to barely color the petals. I put some prisma glitter in the centers. I used a MS edge puncher and the red paper is also from PTI.
I felt that it needed something in the bottom corner so I added the bee. Notice that I popped up several parts of the card with foam tape to add dimension. I couldn't live without foam tape! I may later add a sentiment on the very bottom also. But for now I just liked it as is.
Beautiful card! You really did a great job with this stamp set! Thanks for playing along with us at TSTR! :)

This is fabulous! I love all things Papertrey and you have used this set brilliantly here. Love your coloring and dimension of the flowers and adore the touches of sparkle. I really like the checks and the gingham, too. Give this a wonderful homespun feel. Thanks for joining us this week in the Tea Room.
