Just Christmas and Birthday sketch challenge

I think I've mastered messing up challenges lately. I totally drew all my sketches out for the challenges and then started making the cards. I made a valentine with this sketch.... it's for the "Just Christmas and Birthday" blog. What a silly girl I am.

Regardless, this card is super fun. It will probably go to my grandma because it came out really nice and took for-ev-er.

I used a masking technique to get all the little candies in the jar. This stamp set came with the jar and little things to fill it with. I wanted it to have a realistic look so I stamped some of the candy hearts onto post-its. Then I cut them out carefully. I stamped a few hearts into the jar and then covered them and stamped over the post-its. It gives lots of depth! I have to credit my stamp lady, Jes Ballas for that one!

Here's a close-up of the candy jar. It is covered in liquid glass.
