Please pop by the challenge blog to see what our lovely guest, Julie,  and the DT have made :-)

I used Wine Blueprints and Mini Blueprints Stamp Sets and Thatched and Splatters Layering Stencils.


I can hardly believe it but it is my son's 30th Birthday this weekend (I was a child bride ;-)) For his birthday I sent him a crate of wine and thought this card would be perfect to go long with it! 

I started by splattering some Distress Resist Spray onto some white watercolor paper and when that was dry I blended Broken China and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Inks over the top. I then spritzed with water and used the stencils to add some more design. 

When it was dry I heat embossed the blueprint bottle so that it would really stand out against the background.  I stamped the bottle and glass with Stazon Ink and coloured with Distress Inks. 

I made a 'bench' using a Planks Bigz Die for the bottle and glass to stand on and finished with a snarky sentiment and a Fluted Star . I added 1988 as that was the year he was born and I hear it was a good vintage year for red ;-) (not really, I just made that up ;-)) 


and I finished the inside using a Bigz Alphanumeric Cut Out Die Set 



So now it's YOUR turn, Happy Crafting

What great depth and detailing on this scrumptious card, Lols ... the collage-y background is fabulous with the sketchy bottle and glass ... and that sentiment is brilliant (it had me laughing out loud!)!
