Cocktails on the Beach

Happy Friday, everyone! This week's Friday Free4All Challenge theme over at Splitcoast is 'Let's Chill'. For my card today, I chose the 'Cocktail Mixer' set by Newton's Nook to create a birthday card for my niece. The cocktails were stamped onto a white card base, the clear glass portions were highlighted with a light blue marker; the colored sections were sponged using reverse masking; the tiny pieces were colored with markers.  A clear glaze pen was used to seal in the colors, then the background scene was sponged.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,

Birthday Cocktail

 

Hi, everyone!  This week' Sketch Challenge over at Splitcoast was absolutely perfect for creating a birthday card for my hubby.  His card request this year was for me to make a 'Bahama Mama' card (his fave tropical drink when we go on vacation!)  I had been searching for a fun stamp set to buy and found this 'Cocktail Mixer' set by Newton's Nook.  The image was stamped with Stazon Jet Black; everything except for the liquid was colored with markers, then sealed with a clear glaze pen; after the glaze was dry, I used sponges and inks to color in the cocktail.  The background panel was sponged with the same colors: Marigold Morning, Tangerine Tango, and Real Red.  The palm tree dies are from Top Dog Dies, who went out of business several years ago.  The water and clouds were also colored with sponges.  The small strip of designer paper is from the 'Weathered Wood' Paper Collection by Divinity Designs LLC.  Here are the additional items from Divinity Designs LLC: Pierced Rectangles Dies, Matting Rectangle Die, Pierced Circles Dies, Circles Dies, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Dies.
