I had a quiet afternoon so took the chance to play around in my craft room. For inspiration, I used the sketch at Hand Stamped Sentiments but flipped it to a landscape orientation.
The Nothing's Better Than bundle is a lot of fun, with cute sayings and images based around chocolate, cookies and cocktails - something for everyone! In the past, I've used it for packaging but today, used it to make a card for a fun birthday.
In keeping with the summer fun vibe, I've kept to citrus colours. I had fun stamping and colouring the cocktail glasses. I sponged a little Daffodil Delight behind them and added in some star (bubbles?) shapes. A little hard to see in the photo because of the reflection but the scallop-edge circle is cut from the new Brass Foil. The Granny Apple Green card front was embossed with the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder.

Product List
I just used the same set for the same sketch - I just went to link up and saw you in front of me in the gallery- what are the odds?! I already think my cocktail looks a little tame compared to your colourful pair - I love the sponging behind! Very zingy - love the stacked sentiment too. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLovely card Jan - I love the stacked sentiments and the lovely zingy colours - thanks for joining us at HSS this week.
