Flower in the Mason Jar Mug Welcome Abroad

Flower in the Mason Jar Mug Welcome Abroad
One of my ex-colleague and good friend will be joining the current company I am working for. This means that we are going to be colleagues again after 11 years! In order to celebrate the occasion, I am going to make her a card to commemorate the moment.

Freshly Made Sketch #529 - A Sketch by Jen T
This time, I would like to make a mini slimline card as I have some pattern slimline envelopes that I bought some time ago. The mini slimline card would be 3.3" x 6" to be fitted into the envelope. For the sketch, I am adopting the sketch from Freshly Made Sketch #529 - A Sketch by Jen T as shown above but mirrored it.

Tic Tac Toe Challenge - TTTC155 - I choose flowers, coloring, and green
I also chose flowers, coloring, and green from Tic Tac Toe Challenge - TTTC155 for this card and flower and pattern from Just Add Ink #597 - Choose Two.

The flower in the Mason jar mug image is stamped on the white cross-stitched panel and colored using Copic markers. The edges of the panel are down-toned with some green ink.

Close-up: The leaves border
On a red card base, a dotted pattern paper is attached to the top of it. For the border edge, a leaves border dies is die-cut from green card stock. It is attached to the pattern base as in the sketch in the mirror direction.

Close-up: The sentiment on the banner
The sentiment is stamped onto a green banner and attached to the card on the left bottom using form tape.

Close-up: Shimmering flower and water
The card is finished by adding some glitter onto the main flower focal, and water to make them sparkle and shine.
