Happy Chardonnay
Wine is always a good theme for men's birthday cards, and while I was rummaging through my stash of stamped images (I stamp extra images as I'm making a card, store them and usually forget about them) I saw this image. I was still in sloshing mode so I sloshed on a bit of Crushed Olive and Peeled Paint Distress Ink and trimmed it down. Also in the forgotten stash was this tweed background panel which I'd already coloured and I thought the two went together really well.
I made the card as a reminder for the Craft Stamper Take It, Make It Bottles challenge which ends soon. You've still got time, if you're quick - and you don't have to alter a bottle, you could create a card or other project with a stamped bottle image.
I'm entering this into Time Out Masculine Birthday challenge, which is ending soon too.
ETA: Also entering into Simon Says Monday Challenge: Big Stamp.

How great you had pieces laying around that went so well together. It's a great card.
ReplyDeleteWow, how organised and ahead of yourself, Shirley ... and how fabulous that such random pieces went so perfectly together! Sloshing rules! Anita :)
