A Special Toast

A new challenge has just gone live at Time Out Challenges and we would like to see how you are inspired by A Favourite Beverage!

 

Our lovely DT member Carol has donated this pretty handmade Wine Bag as a prize for Challenge #314!

The Top Pick will also be invited to join Time Out as a guest designer in a future challenge!  Speaking of guest designers, our guest designer this fortnight is the very talented Joanne of the Crafty Owl our winner from Challenge #309!   You can check out how Joanne and my talented team mates were inspired by their favourite beverage over on the Time Out Blog!

I was inspired by Champagne ... and this lovely set (Spellbinders A Special Toast) that I finally managed to get my hands on!  I made up a wedding card but I plan on making some birthday cards or graduation cards as well because I am totally swooning over those shoes!

I made the shoes by winking just the top layer of the shoe and adding glossy accents and I did the same thing with the hatband on the top hat.  

The top layer on the pink and purple roses were cut from glitter cardstock and glossy accents were added.  Both layers of the white rose were cut from white cardstock and the top layer was coated with glossy accents and sprinkled with ultra fine pink glitter while it was still wet. 

The sentiment (Sue Wilson Mini Shadowed  Congratulations) was cut twice from the same white as the background panel and then silver.  It looks a little like it's floating above the panel - I definitely like the effect and will do it again!

I hope you can take some Time Out and join us this fortnight.  You have until the June 10th to link up your entries ... can't wait to see how you're inspired by one of your favourite beverages!

As with most things in life, Champagne is even better in Pink so I've made up a graduation card with a pink and black shoe.  And  I remembered I had this old stamp (WMS Putting on the Ritz) which finished off the card nicely (I so miss Waltzing Mouse Stamps)!
