I made this one with men in mind but some may think it's not masculine enough. As a variation, you could colour what I see as a beer glass in another colour and turn it into a mug of frothy coffee - will have to try that one day.
To ink just the "Cheers" from the "Cheers to you" stamp, I used a marker. I don't have a Certainly Celery marker so used Always Artichoke, which matches the darker ribbon and I think shows up better.
I did use cheat and use one non-Stampin' Up! supply; I couldn't resist a little white liquid applique on the top of the beer to add texture. I can't even tell you where to get it from as I've had mine for years and, even though it's nearly run out, I have been unable to find a replacement.
Stamps: Cheers to You
Cardstock: So Saffron, Certainly Celery, Rose Red, Whisper White.
Paper: Cutie Pie (p73).
Ink: Basic Black, So Saffron.
Accessories: 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon - Always Artichoke (p86), Brads - Rich Regals (p85), Stampin' Write Marker - Always Artichoke (p70), Blender pens (p81).
As I am unlikely to be able to post tomorrow, here's another Mrs B card. This is a tiny 3" square card made with Stampin' Up!'s Love Notes. It's too small to post but sometimes a tiny card is just enough and I hope Mrs B will find a use for it.
Stamps: Cheers to You.
Cardstock: Whisper White, So Saffron, Rose Red.
Paper: Cutie Pie (p73).
Ink: Basic Black, So Saffron, Rose Red, Certainly Celery.

ReplyDeleteHelen, you could ink up the beer glass with a marker, avoiding the lines in the middle, add some stamped flowers and then you'd have a coffee mug!
ReplyDeleteBeer is too much of a cliche for blokes must of us prefer wine really. Football's another cliche. Here's a challenge - a bloke's crad without the stereotypes!
