Seize The Birthday: Alcohol - Inks or Drinks



Hello, it's my turn to host Seize The Birthday challenge, and for the topping I've chosen alcohol.  What will you go for, inks or drinks?  Or both?

This is actually the second card I made for this challenge.  After I'd made the first one, see below, I came across this image already stamped and waiting to be coloured in.  So I did.


Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday challenge blog to see if the rest of the team and our surprise party guests went with inks or drinks, and play along with us.  If the theme doesn't float your boat, you can still play along with any birthday-themed project.
