BUTTON BUDDIES PERFECTLY PRESERVED

Lots of retiring product in this one.  Be sure to look for the*.
Retiring products are as supplies last, and definitely not available after May 31.

To make this card, you will need:
stamp sets:  *Button Buddies, *Perfectly Preserved, *Made for You, *Distressed Dots (inside)
card stock:  *Not Quite Navy, *River Rock, Whisper White
stamp pads:  Stazon Jet Black, *Not Quite Navy, Real Red, Always Artichoke, Versamark
marker:  *Not Quite Navy
tools:  *Cannery framelits, Big Shot, Scallop Circle & 3/4" Circle punches, ruler or straight edge (non-Stampin' Up!), paper piercer & piercing mat, Essentials Paper Piercing Pack
etc:  Chrerry Cobbler Baker's Twine, Window Sheets, mini glue dots, stampin' dimensionals, Snail adhesive

HINTs:  
+Stamp the jar image onto a Window Sheet using Stazon ink; allow to dry; cut out using framelit; wrap several times with twine; adhere stamped side down on mat using glue dots.
+The "frame" in drawn about 1/4" from each edge using marker and ruler.
+Paper pierce in upper left corner before adhering the card front to the base.
+Pop up one flower using 2 dimensionals; use one more dimensional to adhere its center.

As I look at my card some more, I think it needs one more flower, or to have the sentiment moved up about in line with the neck of the jar.  Might give it more balance.  What do you think?

Hope this idea spurs on your ideas.

Happy stampin'!
