Fireflies in a Jar



Who hasn't loved catching fireflies in a jar on a hot summer night?  Our stamped version of the Jar of  Love takes us back to the days of youthful excitement and the wonder of it all!




This card was a quick, easy, and very impressive way to capture the wonder!

 Firefly Jar of Love Card

Though the fireflies are the stars of this show, we added some excitement with sparkly stars in our Night of Navy Card Stock. Punched with Confetti Stars and backed with some Silver Glitter Paper, certainly made for a starry night.  Our little jar and lid from Jar of  Love are stamped with Basic Black Ink, and the flies are stamped in Basic Black then colored with Crushed Curry Watercolor Marker.  To make our insects seem to glow in the dark we added a bright little spot with a Sponge Dauber inked with Crushed Curry Ink.  Pear Pizzazz leaves stamped around our jar make us feel like running through the grass on a warm summer evening.  Stamped on a piece of white scrap, fussy cut, and popped up with Dimensionals two of our escapees are flying high into the stars!

It's no surprise that we found this card idea floating around on Pinterest.  Thanks Julie Frakie, for a great idea!
