3. Cut graphic from patterned paper, distress ink and adhere to the upper left corner.
4. Distress ink a heart doily, then adhere to the right side.
5. Diecut the jar & tag from patterned papers, then distress ink the edges. 
6. Stamp the sentiment to the tag, then layer to the jar with lace and twine.
7. Add a button to the twine bow, and a heart jewel to the sentiment tag.  Adhere the entire jar to the doily.
8. Accent around the jar with flowers, a grey bow and hexagon shapes. 
9. Accent the graphic with a chipboard banner & a button.
