I chose this photo as the inspiration for this 4th of July card. Since I was working on a dark bg, I used gold and white EPs for the "outlines". The shading/highlights on the jar were done with white acrylic paint. The flags came from cocktail toothpicks and were the right scale.

Your jar is awesome! I can see the shine on the glass from your shading with the white! The flags and how you stamped and embossed the jar over them really makes this really flags in a jar! Marvelous card!

Sallie, your talent to paint is extraordinary! The glass jar is amazing realistic, and your upcycled flags were meant for this beautiful patriotic card!
