Jar of Happy Thoughts

Good morning! I don't know if I have said anything before about how much I love jars - but I do! So when I started thinking about something to make for this weeks Peachy Keen Challenge - Just Cards Heart of Hearts, it was easy to think of putting that heart in a jar! Here is what I made: 
I used this sweet set - Butterfly Kisses - it has so many fun sentiments!


The jar is a cut file from the Silhouette store, and I used my Cameo to cut it out.
I inked the edges with Tim Holtz distress ink before attaching all the layers together. I used one of my favorite Peachy Keen Face sets, Wide Eyed Kids Assortment, to put a sweet face on the heart. I used some white gel pen to add some stitching and detail to the face, then used foam adhesive to attach it to the jar.
I added some Glossy Accents to the eyes, mouth, top of the jar, and the bottom of the jar - sprinkling a bit of Martha Stewart Coarse Glitter on just the bottom. Also tied some natural jute twine (available HERE at My Craft Spot) around the top of the jar, tying in a bow. 
I layered all my different papers together from an older My Mind's Eye 6x6 paper pad - inking all the edges with Tim Holtz distress ink, then wrapped some Vanilla Bean crinkle ribbon (available HERE from My Craft Spot) around, tying in a bow on the side. 
Here is a close up of the jar that shows the texture from the Glossy Accents and glitter a little better:
Finished off by attaching the jar with foam adhesive, stamping the sentiment on the bottom, then adding some stitching with a Tim Holtz distress marker around the outer edges.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day today!!!
