I’m madly busy trying to organize myself for the upcoming craft retreat with friends, but I couldn’t pass up on the yummy Papertrey Ink March Blog Hop! The theme is high gloss and boy are there possibilities!
I was gearing up for some serious heat embossing, but I didn’t want to risk waking up our poor teething girl with the noise, in the middle of the night. Instead I pulled out Glossy Accents and applied it generously over the jar from Friendship Jar stamp set, for a realistic look that I adore! I even inked the edges of the jar twice, so that there’s a faux 3D look to it. I DIG it 
For the blooms, I used my PTI all-time favourite - The Sweet Life. I also stamped the subtle background with the ’tile’ stamp from Lovely Layers.
For the finishing touches, I flicked some Glimmer Mist straight from the dispenser and added a subtle shading under the jar with W0 & W2 Copic markers.
You can see the dimension in the glossy jar better here:
