Our challenge this week on Stamp With Us is the theme Congratulations. I've made this card as an engagement card.
Recipe
Stamp sets: Cheers to You, Circle of Friendship
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Blush Blossom
Ink: Versamark
SU Markers: Blush Blossom
Other: Gold EP, Dazzling Diamonds, Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon
Punches: 1", 1-1/4", 1-3/8" circle
The champagne glasses from the Cheers to You were stamped onto Very Vanilla card in Versamark and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I then coloured the "champagne" with Blush Blossom marker to add a bit of shade to the liquid. Because I didn't want a full on layer of glitter I spread a little Tombow onto some acetate, then used a brush to dilute it with a little water and paint the mixture onto the glasses. Dazzling Diamonds was sprinkled over and allowed to dry. The circles were punched and lined up. The centre circle frame was made by punching the 1-1/4" circle from Blush Blossom card then centred the aperture and punched with the 1-3/8" circle.
Now I'd like to introduce you to the new addition to our family - Bess.
She's a rescue dog found on the streets of Leeds. She's about 3 years old, a small Staffordshire Bull Terrier and likes a lot of fussing and loving. Perfect for us.
Thanks for stopping by.
