This is a card for a young lady at my husbands work who is turning 21! I remember the days. I hope she enjoys the card almost as much as she enjoys her birthday!
Happy Birthday Megatron!!!
I first stamped the margarita glass in basic black ink after stamping off one time. I did not want it to be a dark color. Then I colored it with the green galore marker until I got the desired effect. I created the base of the glass to be a little darker than the drink. Then I took the yoyo yellow marker and went over the green galore only on the drink portion to make the margarita stand out a little. They blended very well together.
After coloring it, I cut it out and added crystal effects on the whole thing except where the salt was to be. While waiting for it to try, I inked up the lime stamp with yoyo yellow and then used a sponge dauber to go around the edge. I wanted to cover most of the yellow up, but still leave a desired effect. I also used a little bit of crystal effects on the lime to give it a wet look. Once the Crystal effects was dry, I then put a light coat of glue on the rim of the glass and added the dazzling diamonds on the top of the glass and also along the card side. For the background, I used a sponge and rubbed the color on to my desire. I wanted it to be bright, but to blend in with the glass. Kind of like a margarita sunrise!
For the card itself, I took a piece of 4 1/4 x 11. I cut it down to 10 1/2 inches. I measured in 3 1/8 on each side of the card. Then on the right hand side, I measured from the top left to the bottom right. I cut that piece and folded it in to create a semi tri-fold card.
All supplies used are from stampin up unless otherwise noted.
