Does this image make you thirsty, lol? It’s been a 5 O’Clock kind of week around here. And I just love images w/ colorful, tasty beverages in them. After coloring them I die cut them & added some equally colorful layers of papers behind them. I thought the Relax die would fit in perfectly w/ the image.
I added some stickles here & there for a little sparkle.
I’ve shown this on other posts, but I’m always amazed at how much sharper the image looks after over stamping w/ Versafine. Below.. left is just w/ Memento & Copics..right is after stamping again w/ Versafine (click any picture to enlarge).
Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.
Supplies:
| Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – It’s 5 O’Clock |
| Paper: X-Press It white, Staples #110 white, black, dp (Amer.Crafts – #Summer, Pebbles -Fun in the Sun) |
