Double D Challenge- Pastel Party



I have not had time to enter a card in a challenge for quite some time.  Finally, there was some hours available.  I have had this card in my head for a long time, Has that happened to you?
It just happens that the challenge at Double D was a good fit for it and that has brought me to this post on my blog today. Here is the Inspiration board for the challenge.

 Such pretty pastels and flowers, so that is what inspired me to complete the design in my head.  I have wanted to use the jar for a card and I don't believe that I ever have.  I used some older stamps and some brand new ones.  I'll list them below my picture. 

A peek at the inside.  I have made it a must, to at least put something in the inside each time I make a card. 



Here are the  supplies that I used:
Gina K Designs card stock in White and Innocent Pink
Gina K Designs ink in Innocent Pink and Bubble Gum Pink
Gina K Designs stamps, Buds and Vases, Assorted greetings (sentiment) and Sentimental Summer kit
Simon Says die, Heart Parade, Just the large heart
Memento ink in London Fog
Some Acetate and Black Stazon ink
Swiss Dot embossing folder

I stamped and cut out the jar and then scribbled some Copic BG72 on the front, to give the look of water.  I didn't think of how I was going to attached the jar, but it worked out well.  I used a small adhesive dot, rolled up and place it on the top rim of the jar and the bottom as well.  The leaves cover that up.    The hearts die cuts a border and I just reversed the colors and used part of the greeting. 
I will be entering this one in the Double D challenge, if you had not guessed that by now. 
Thanks for you comments, I appreciate them.  It certainly make my day bright!
