So many ideas went through my mind when I saw this cue. Obviously, open space on the card is a great interpretation for a clean and simple card challenge like CASology! I also thought of open house, open heart, open mind, open window/door. Open your wings and fly. Opening presents. Opening bottles...and jars!
Whoop...there it is.
I used a Paper Sweeties stamp and die set, and I paper-pieced the cloth cover of the lid for some extra interest. The gingham-embossed card base helps keep white space open but also adds some interest to the card. The jar is mounted on foam tape for a little dimension.
Supplies:
Paper Sweeties Mason Jar Bundle and twine
Cuttlebug "Gingham" embossing folder
Copic markers, patterned paper, corner rounder
