garnish your margarita

The new challenge at Cardz4galz begins today and Helen has chosen embossing (wet or dry) for the theme this session. For my example I chose a StampinUp/Sizzix folder called Scattered Sequins and gently ran a gold metallic ink pad over them for some colour and shine. My stamp set is from Your Next Stamp called Crafty cocktails and the sentiment comes from that set too. I stamped and coloured my chosen images using Prisma Color pencils and I added Nuvo Crystal drops to the drink for some shine and so it looks more like glass. I decided to add a small half oval Holographic piece behind my images for more sparkle and shine. I went around the edge of the panel with an ink pad before adding it to a shimmer note card. The ink gave it just enough definition to stand out from the card front. For once my camera captured colours in the holographic piece.

Anything Goes With A Twist of Turkey/Thanksgiving is the challenge it is being entered into but twist not taken.

I’m quite happy with how this one turned out and like the cuteness of the stamps. I also think the sentiment is perfect for someone who may need a lift in spirits, pun not intended. Thanks for stopping by, it is appreciated.
