Step by Step Instructions:

Start by taping a 5×7 piece of smooth cardstock down. Secure stencil at an angle to have the sun in the center and the rays coming to a point towards the bottom. Use yellow of choice to ink blend from center out, fading towards bottom. I used 2 colors for a bit of gradient.

Stamp owl and balloons. Diecut out.
Diecut Farmer’s Market Cart & Additional market cart items. Add preferred ink to edges to give depth and a bit of a vintage feel.

Diecut banners and banner swag (Birthday Market Add-on die set). Die cut small fringe die, top of roof overlay & tiny letters (Small Classic Alphabet die), from white heavyweight cardstock. Color balloons and owl with preferred medium. (I used alcohol markers). Ink blend roof strip and banners of cart. Glue on tiny letters. Assemble cart, making sure to leave room for the sentiment. Add swag to cart and using foam adhesive add banners to swag.

Add preferred string to each balloon, making sure to secure under thin foam adhesive. Die cut additional candy/gum jars from Birthday Market add-on and the envelope from the Market Spring add-on. color the gumballs by simply adding alcohol marker dots to the inside die layer. Use thick vellum (made into a sticker) to cover the gumball section. Die cut the top and other detail pieces from same heavyweight white cardstock and assemble. Tie a tiny string/twine bow for jar and adhere using glue.

Assemble card using thing foam where desired and placing market cart around sentiment. Layer card front onto a black cardstock layer that is slightly larger.
