Ways To Relax...

Wow, you ladies are SERIOUS about your blog candy, LOL!! I am THRILLED at the response and the responses, I {heart} you all too!! So, I am not much of a drinker, but when I saw today's Ways To Use It challenge, I dug around til I found some alcohol related stamps so that I could participate. The challenge was to use anything alcohol related...we all know I am not a technique-y sorta girl(even though I own all the stuff to be one), so I decided this super cute wine glass and bottle from the My Favorite Things set, Time for the Bubbly. I am really trying to get all the Taylored Expression Cupcake sketches done(there were 9 of them), and after this card, I have one left. This sketch was provided by former Prettie Guest, Stephanie Hargis. When I saw that she had provided a sketch, I knew I had to play along!! I stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them in with my markers. I then added Crystal Effects to make them shiny. The bottle was cut out separately, and the glass was punched(along with it's layers) with my SU circle punches. The colors on this are Bravo Burgundy and Pink Pirouette. I paired them with some Parisian Summer DSP and Gina K. White. The top layer was run through my Cuttlebug with the Textile folder and then connected the layers with some YUMMY Pink May Arts ribbon that my girl Julie hooked me(back) up with!! The sentiment was punched with my Word Window punch and I added a silver brad...cause it looked lonely. Steph's sketch was pretty simple, so I tried to keep my card simple....I think I did it!! That is it for me now, off to make the final card from the sketches...it is still boggling my mind, but I am running out of time..yikes!! I know you are thinking....this is only the second card we have seen from the sketches...and you would be right. I will post them on my blog here and there(on days when I don't feel like stamping, LOL)!! Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!!
