For my first card, I stamped and die cut 3 apothecary bottles, 2 apothecary labels out of lilac and 1 label out of lavender. I stamped the lavender image on the lavender label and I masked and stamped the hyacinth on one lilac label and the morning glory on the other. I added a little color with Copics to the labels and to the bottles. Only the first part of the greeting was stamped inside a die cut tag and attached with variegated floss. The word Lavender and a lavender sprig were stamped across the bottom of the dk blue violet strip. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

For my second card, I stamped the apothecary bottle and the candy hearts filler inside. After coloring with Copics, I die cut with the matching die and added some stickles to the hearts. The greeting was also stamped and die cut. The white background was embossed and the pink frame was made with the ODBD Elegant Oval dies. I added some designer paper, ribbon and sequins to finish my 4.25 x 5.50 card and these are the Copics I used.

Julie, I am blown away once again!! I love your creativity! I love how you used the different sets on the first and how you shortened the sentiment. Love the bright colors, sequins, and sparkle of the 2nd. Fabulous work!!!! Happy New Year! (Sending hugs and prayers your way!)
Julie, what beauties these are…I just love the canning jars and since I’m a “canner” each summer they would be great for me to give with each jar of preserves that find their way to family members. I put up 25 + pints of Strawberry Preserves and over 20 pints of Peach Preserves so I could definitely put those to use, lol.
Oh these are both gorgeous Julie!!! Love how you added different ODBD florals to the bg bottles of the top one and I love the sparkle of the second!!! Your coloring is always gorgeous!!!
Happy New Year my friend!!!
hugs,
Grace
What creative ideas Julie! Love these sets and the dies.
Julie – how amazing are these my friend!!??!! You are a master with Copic markers! Love the fun dots and buttons on the Hearts card, and the creative use of the Hyacinth and Morning Glory images on the second. Love the inspiration. Hope you have a wonderful 2014 – hugs and blessings to you!!

Julie…I love your creativity! Pure genius to use not one but three apothecary bottles and stamp mix on your beautiful card! And the second… a beauty, love the banner sentiments, perfect!
Wow, your coloring is perfect. Love the colors you used and how clever to stamp the flowers inside the labels. The sequins and glitter really add to the valentine.
Julie, I always love the gorgeous colors you use…so vibrant and cheery! Gorgeous use of these wonderful apothecary jars! And I love how you’ve used them in these cards to show the versatility of them…one so elegant and the other so cute with the candy hearts! Can’t wait to ink some of these myself! Happy New Year, sweet friend…and hugs!
Fabulous use of the new stamps and dies! Love the design of your conversation hearts card!
What a very pretty card with the apothecary jars , labels, different flower stamps and tag. The colors used and coloring is beautiful. So very vintage looking. Your hearts in an apothecary jar is just too cute. Very pretty background with the sequins and all. The sticklers I. The hearts just really makes it pop. Thank you for sharing your great creativity with us. Very pretty.
Your apothecary bottles are great, I love how you used multiple bottles on your card. Those hearts make such a fun card.
