This week’s blogger challenge is a sketch. At first, I had a hard time figuring out what I wanted to do with it, but once I got an idea in mind, the card came together pretty quickly.
I used the a la modes Cheers set from My Favorite Things for the card. I started by stamping and coloring the girl image. Her dress is sparkly, courtesy of a little shimmer spray, and the champagne is, too. I covered the glass with a thin layer of Glossy Accents, then dusted on a bit of glitter to get its sparkly look. She’s set on a piece of paper doily for a super feminine look
I continued with the sparkly theme on the cardfront. I used a piece of glittery designer paper from a KaiserCraft pad to cover most of the Melon Mambo cardfront. I ran a piece of coordinating pink grosgrain ribbon across it and added a matching bow made with my Bow Easy. The set’s “here’s to you” sentiment is stamped on a banner die cut.
