Keep Calm & Drink Beer

Hi Bloggers.

What a great weekend we all had at Ally Pally. I do love the venue especially now we're in the Great Hall and there's lots of space for everyone to move around. It was lovely to meet so many of you - good to put faces to names.

I have a very simple card here for the guys -

For the background, I inked through the Stone Mask with Fired Brick Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I then ran a Black Soot Distress Ink Pad over the raised pattern on the inside of the Couture Creations Adagio Embossing Folder. I popped the background inside at a jaunty angle, closed the folder and then brayered over the top. The Distress Ink just washes off the folder under the tap. I then randomly stamped a beer glass from the Cheers Stamp Set over the background using Jet Black Archival. I coloured some Faux Screw Brads with a Black Promarker and added one to each corner of the background.

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 Labels 28 and inked through the die with Fired Brick. I cut the next size up out of Black Card.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Black Pearl around the edges. Simples!

Thanks for stopping by.
