Hello Crafty Friends,
Tonight is the start of the Jewish New Year. We celebrate this in the synagogue, but also at home.
We send each other cards and the symbol you see very often is the apple with a jar of honey. This symbolizes the wish of a very sweet New Year.
On the 2nd day of the New Year we eat a pomegranate with honey.
So that is also a fruit you see on the card.
For the first card I used all SU! materials and papers.
The stampset I used is Harvest Hellos and Jar of Love.
The sentiment is from a very old set called Mazel Tov (2003).
This is the inside of the card with a Jewish sentiment
from my stash.
All coloring is done with stamping ink and a waterbrush.
For this card I made a stencil out of the Honeycomb Hello die.
And the pomegranate stamps and flower are from a set
you cout get for free in the SAB sale this year called
Perfect Pomegranate.
The gold embossed dove is SU!
and the sentiment is Hebrew - Shanah Tovah - a good year!
(by zumgaligali rubber stamps).
Here another version with the Perfect Pomegranate stampset.
Sentiment from my stash (unknown origine)
Wishing all my creative Jewish friends and those who celebrate
a very sweet, healthy, prosperous and creative New Year!
A good year!
