Stampin! with Jaydee

Happy Friday. 

It's time for another Festive Friday INSPO challenge.   Our card and crafting challenge is designed around a specific festivity from around the world.  You don't have to follow the theme - just choose three words from our INSPO list and incorporate them on your card.  This week we are celebrating Galentine's Day.  Now, I can't think of a better reason to send a card than to celebrate some awesome friends.  For my card, I had some coloring fun with the MFTStamps Long Stem Barware dies.  I used this set before on this card - but this week went to town!  Here's a sneak peek:

Want to see what words on the INSPO list?

I began my card by die-cutting the elements.  The glasses were die-cut using vellum and I used normal white cardstock for the drinks that go inside them.  I needed to make sure the glasses didn't just disappear against the white background so I colored the back of the vellum glasses with grey copic markers and then added a stenciled background the "ground" the glasses.  You can't really see it in the photo, but I added shimmer to all of the drinks with my shimmer pen - so here's a closer look at all that shimmer and shine.  You can also see the faint background stencilling, too.

Here's my full card.   You can see that I added some shimmery white glitter paper behind the focal layer for a little extra shine.  I mean, which of our friends doesn't deserve that :-)

the INSPO words I was inspired by: something shiny, cocktails, purple, pink

I hope you will join us and play along - you have almost two weeks to join our challenge so lots of time to play:-)  As always, the design team have some fabulous inspiration for you.  I hope you will pop along to their blogs and check them out;

I will be back on Sunday with my Paper Players card.  In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers to those of you who need a little lift tonight.

Hugs
