I found this card to be a tiny bit tedious to make because of all the itsy, bitsy die cut pieces but it humored me so much I just had fun with it! My card is made from various MFT beverage related die sets listed below, along with the Raise A Glass stamp set. It became kind of a blended CASE of a few of the MFT design team cards, such as those by Sara Zoppi, Nicky Meeks and Barb Anders, which you can find here.
Hee, hee that sentiment just makes me laugh! While it's been many, many years since either my SIL or I have gone out for cocktails for our birthdays (I'd rather sit at home and have a glass of wine), I knew she would love the funny greeting.
To start, the glasses were all die cut from adhesive-backed vellum and all the other pieces were die cut from white card stock. I then proceeded to use my Copic markers to color all the bits before assembling the various cocktails.
For the background panel, I laid out the drinks without adhering them to ensure I had sufficient room then I used a pencil to mark where the top of the "wood" table would be. Below that, the sentiment was gold heat embossed, then I blended Simon Says Stamp Cadette ink on the upper portion of the background, splattered it with gold metallic and white acrylic ink, and when dry, the strip of Lawn Fawn Woodgrain was adhered and the beverages added on top. I used glue on the front of a white card base and added the decorated panel. The final touch was to use a white gel pen to add foam to the beer, bubbles to the colorful drink and salt to the rim of the margarita glass.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by and take a look!
Take care and have a great weekend!
