For my card, I have used my brand new stamps from Stamping Bella - her new range of "Uptown Girls" which are just perfect images for me to make cards for all my girlfriends as we do love a cocktail! Stamping Bella is a Canadian Company if you've not come across them before with a fabulous range of stamps (not just images for colouring) but I get mine in the UK from Quixotic Paperie and these stamps landed here just this week and I got mine yesterday so the timing of today's challenge is perfect!
This one is called "Madison has a Margarita" but I decided she'd be having a cosmo so changed the colour of the cocktail appropriately. She is coloured mostly with copics - I have a new range of colours as there was a really good offer on so I had a little splurge! I did do a little shading on top with pencils and sansoder. I added a pink spotted matt which is from a Bo Bunny scrap from my snippets drawer and I used the same to matt the sentiment which comes with the stamp (I know Chrissie already used the same sentiment, but this is destined to be a retirement card for a friend next week so it had to have this sentiment on it!) The little pink flat back gems were a little freebie with my stamps - Elaine the owner always includes a little something as a thank you which I think is a lovely touch.
Right, time to see what cocktails everyone else has come up with.
Catch you later
This is great! xx Jan
