Hard to believe it but it's already time for a new challenge at The Paper Players. We were delighted by the entries in Joanne's 'Something Old, Something New' challenge. We hope you'll have as much fun with Ann's colour challenge.
While these colours did sing of flowers to me, it was the Cheers & Sips bundle that ended up getting an outing instead. It's still on my desk as I'm prepping for the Creativity Abounds Virtual Stamp Camp at the end of June. If you're interested in joining me, and the other 12 members of the international crew, for this stamp camp you can read the details here.
The card base is Lost Lagoon, with a jauntily askew piece of Berry Burst as a matte. The Basic White card front is embossed with one of the Glass & Garden embossing folders.
I used Versamark to stamp an image of each of the glasses and added some ice cubes to each. Then I used WOW White Embossing Powder and heated it up. Then I sponged over Bubble Bath ink and Berry Burst ink with a blending brush.
I used the same resist emboss technique to create the umbrella, strawberry and mint leaf. The sentiments were stamped in Lost Lagoon ink.
Then I added the mocktail glasses to the card front, popping the Bubble Bath long glass up on dimensionals.
To finish off, I added in a trio of Berry Burst tinsel gems - which have sadly just retired but can still be snapped up on the Last Chance list.
You can see what the rest of the design team have done, and link up your entry, at The Paper Players page.

Jan... hope you are well... been thinking of you. Love your coolers... could use one. It is starting to get quite hot here, hopefully the rains will come soon. We need them.
ReplyDeleteJan, I don't think I have ever seen stamped mocktails ever look as refreshing as these! Embossing them in white adds an iciness to them. And speaking of embossing, I love the partially embossed card front. These may be my new favorite folders. Thank you for showcasing my challenge colors this way. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteWhat I would be give to be sharing a mocktail with you today Jan - instead, I'll just have to admire these beauties! What great, fruity concoctions; I'm loving that partial embossed background too. This is a fun set!
ReplyDeleteJan, what a fabulous way to make those ice cubes look frosty! I love all the embossing and I think your drinks look so refreshing! Great card to show off this color combo!
ReplyDeleteWhat a refreshing take on these colors! Your drinks look delicious! Love the heat embossing and that fun embossed background as well!
ReplyDeleteJan, I love that you went the non-floral route! Your drinks look yummy and the little lagoon umbrella is the perfect finishing touch. I love the partial embossed area and the shapes echo the cubes in the glass. Fabulous
