Craftroom Inspiration Ball Jar With Daisy Delight

I find it inspiring to surround my craftroom with pretty things.  Unfortunately, I recently lost both my parents.  They used to grow their own tomatoes and make their own tomato sauce.  I used one of their Ball Jars to create this vase. 



I painted the jar with 3 coats of Chalky Paint in French Teal and then used a sanding block to distress the paint.  You must make sure the paint is complete dry in between coats.





I cut strips of the Stampin' Up! new Granny Apple Green cardstock measuring 3/4" x 8-1/2".  I glued the strips to the jar and this is how I adhered my daisies.  I used the Daisy Delight stamp set to stamp the daisies in Pool Party ink and punched them out using the Daisy punch.  I stamped the leaves using Granny Apple Green ink and I punched some extra daisies in Whisper White cardstock to add dimension.

Color Me Daisy Punch


I wanted to try something different using the Daisy Punch.  I punched a daisy on a scrap of paper and used that as a template.  First I sponged the daisy in Pool Party and then I turned the template to show only the empty spaces and I sponged in with Bermuda Bay.

Daisy Delight with Pokka Dots


It's funny how you find inspiration all around you every day.  I have pajamas that have this pokka dot pattern.  I used Pool Party cardstock and colored the dots using Daubers and Bermuda Bay ink.  The daisy was stamped using the Daisy Delight stamp set and stamped with Pool Party ink.
