Discovering a new challenge is almost as much fun as discovering a new series of books! A fabulous and talented group of stampers just started Fab Friday, a brand new challenge blog, and I am so excited to play along. The first challenge is a sketch challenge.

I’ve been slacking on my Rosh Hashanah cards, and this sketch has such a nice big space for apples and honey, that I knew what I had to do! I got a little fancier with my honey jar this time. I think you can see that it is a little shinier in the picture below. First I stamped the jar on the Very Vanilla background piece. Then I stamped it on a scrap of More Mustard card stock and cut it out. I stamped it a third time on a piece of acetate, cut that out, and put it on top. It looks very jar-like in real life.

Stamps: Perfectly Preserved, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: StazOn Jet Black, Cherry Cobbler, Island Indigo
Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Island Indigo, More Mustard, Very Vanilla, Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper
Other: Cannery Framelits, Bitty Banner Framelits, Scallop Border Punch, Island Indigo Baker’s Twine, Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding, Clear Bitty Buttons, Bitty Shapes Punch Pack
