I tried to make this look like a tequila sunrise... I somehow associate fancy, colourful cocktails with exotic places as I like to try new ones when I go on cruises to warmer climes! I shall have to wait until January before the next one...cruise not cocktail that is!
Here is one layer card with dry embossed frame and sentiment, a simply stamped and clear embossed image coloured with watercolour pencils, blended with a water brush and given a coat of Glossy Accents.
This rather exotic looking, showy flower was made from a pair of dies from Memory Box... it's quite a whopper!
It was cut from card coloured with the shaving foam technique and then inlaid. The centre was cut from black card and encrusted with Micro beads set into Glossy Accents. The sentiment was cut from an alphabet from PTI and all the coloured card was gentle twinkled with Glamour Dust although it doesn't show up much on this picture.
Aloha!
Beautiful cards, love the colours in both. That drink looks so vibrant.
ReplyDeleteGreat little cocktail inside the embossing, Chrissie. Love how bright it is. And that bloom, just wow! xx
ReplyDeleteWow fabulous floral card with such atention to detail! I love the dry embossing on your cocktail card too x
ReplyDeleteStunning cards Chrissie! The first one is so perfectly CAS and exotically bright... makes me want to go on a cruise right now, especially looking out the window at the wind and rain here! The second card is just WOW. The shaving foam technique has created such gorgeous marbling, and using micro beads in the centre was a stroke of genius. Love them both!
ReplyDeleteTwo brilliant cards and the green flower really catches your eye. Love the dry embossing.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your tequila sunrise Chissie and love the effect of the de-bossed frame and sentiment! You've aced it at CAS here but you are the queen of CAS eh! The bold lime on black Aloha card just shouts Exotic too and is so clever. Have a fun week. x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful embossing on the first card Chrissie and the cocktail looks so yummy with your beautiful colouring! So glad you won't wait until Jan to have another cocktail - please pass on any recipes that you have for good ones! 😉 Blown away by the fantastic citrus bloom - it looks really exotic. Enjoy your week.
