Pour a Glass

Club Scrap has made the switch to clear stamps and I couldn't be happier!  I mean, could these new Wine Time stamps be made for anyone else BUT me :)  We recently jumped in our RV for some exploring and I only brought these stamps, inks and coloring mediums.  I wanted to challenge myself to keep things simple.  

Inked edges, images colored with colored pencils.

Colored corks with Copics and fussy cut. Edges of card base colored with Copics.

Rubbed ink pad along paper strip for color. Colored edges of card base with Copics.

Stamped wine bottles in background with second stamping. Copic colored edges.

Colored green paper ribbon with Copics.  Rubbed ink pad on burgundy ribbon. Inked edges.

Using all the quotes for a background is the magic of clear stamps!

Wine Time paper collection is a perfect companion.

Hello my crafty friends!  Happy Thursday!  

It's Lisa here today to bring you a fun way to get more from your background stamps. 

I originally created this background last August for our Stripes Challenge. I wanted to hand create stripes but then got sidetracked and designed a totally different card for the challenge. 

These stripes were created by marking off stripes with masking tape and then swiping a distress oxide ink pad along the paper. Remove the tape when the ink is dry and add white stripes with a gel pen. 

I'm still in love with my Wine Background stamp and use it many different ways.  For this card I stamped and colored the image then die cut it into a flag shape. Just add embellishments to finish off your theme.

Cheers my crafty friends! I've been experimenting with my handmade wreath builder stencil and thought I'd do something fun with this wine bottle stamp.  The spatter background stamp adds a fun, messy element to this card.  The spatters look like wine after a long day in my tasting room :)

Happy First Thursday of the New Year!

Thank you for stopping by today.  I'm sharing my love for wine this month. I'm sure you'll notice a theme as time goes on :)  I have a "two-fer" today.  My original experiment didn't work out as well as I wanted so I created a second panel. 

This background was created with Distress Oxide inks and water.  I then spritzed the Wine Background collage stamp with water and applied it to the background panel. I was hoping for a more dramatic impression. The wine bottle is a die cut that was embossed in sections. During my Intro to Winemaking class we learned about the history of wine and this Hemingway Wine Sentiment really is fitting.

This second background is the same distress oxide ink and water technique but I stamped the wine background stamp in brown after the panel dried. I added ribbon and a die cut sentiment.
