Keep Calm & Drink Beer

Hi Bloggers.

One for the guys today.

For the background, I ran a piece of Tan Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Adagio Embossing Folder. I had to run it through a second time to extend the pattern (join hidden by the ribbon!). I inked around the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I popped an Antique Copper Faux Screw Brad in each corner.

I stamped the main image from the Creative Expressions Cheers Stamp Set onto Milk Card using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured it in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks from the Garden Twist and Autumn Shades Sets. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 28 and inked through the die with Vintage Photo.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Decagons and inked through the die with Vintage Photo.

I wrapped a piece of Brown /Ivory Striped Grosgrain around my background. I popped a piece of Idea-ology Journeyman Tissue Tape onto my craft sheet and then stamped one of the beer glasses onto it several times using Jet Black Archival. I coloured it in using the Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks and then wrapped it around the centre of my ribbon.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Dark Bronze around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
