WINE WITH ME

So, the current challenge at Fusion Card Challenge - Wine and Cheese caught my attention - two of my favorite pairings! 

I started with a top-folded black card base. The wine bottles and sentiment are from Unity Stamp Company's "Let's Get Sip Faced" set of rubber stamps. I heat-embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and printed the bottles (2 rows of 6 bottles each) repeatedly on white cardstock with Memento "Black Tuxedo" die ink and trimmed off 2 rows of the pattern and mounted it on the face of the card. Then I colored one bottle with Copics and white gel pen, fussy cut it out, and mounted it to the last row of bottles with dimensional foam. I thought I was finished but kept looking at it and decided it needed a bit of relief from the unrelenting CAS, so I punched a hole near the top and threaded a string and beads through it. I thought the wooden beads looked kind of like corks - yeah, I know, that was a stretch! The final step was to stamp a bunch of the bottles onto white print paper to line the envelope. That's it!

On a personal note, I finally figured out how to use a watermark, so you'll notice my blog address on all of my cards going forward.
