Pinterest Inspired Card

This week at My Craft Spot, we are having a Pinterest-inspired challenge.  I have to admit that I certainly found this a challenge and tried a few different things before settling on my card.  I'm still not entirely sure what I think of it - but learned the hard way that our cat LOVED the raffia!!  Yesterday, I woke to find the card on the floor and the raffia completely chewed up...  Oh dear!

Here's the Pinterest photo to inspire you:

And here's my creation (before Electra got hold of it!):

I used a variety of Stampin' Up papers for the coloured background and I used an EK Success punch for the border.  The ivory base is handmade paper (although not made by me).  I also used some mulberry paper for the jar, which was cut from the NEW My Craft Spot Jar Basics metal dies and stamped with one of the NEW My Craft Spot Jar Basics stamps.  I also used a bit of white ink on the jar to distress it a bit.  The sentiment is from My Craft Spot's Happy Thanksgiving stamp set and I added a bit of extra detail with a flourish from My Craft Spot's Tickets stamp set, to which I added a tiny pearl.  I then finished everything off with three more pearls and some raffia.  

Here is a close-up of the sentiment, which was stamped with Tim Holtz Pumice Stone distress ink.
