You've Got Half Full Style

I've been wanting to use the champagne drinking women from the You've Got Style stamp set with the new Half Full stamp set since I got it. I had the opportunity when I needed to create a card for a 50th birthday.

Thankfully my cousin who just hit this milestone looks more like she's in her mid 30's vs this more mature woman. She has a sense of humor, so hopefully she got a kick out of this card. I used my Aqua Painter to color the images. Unfortunately, the photo is a little washed out so the watercoloring is barely visible, nor is the metallic gold I used for the jewelry and edging of the sign...so you'll have to trust me that it looked nicer in real life! LOL

I created the little "50 and fabulous" banner by simply drawing it on Whisper White cardstock using my Journaling Pen and cut it out...there was a lot of fussy cutting on this card, but it went pretty quick. The Fresh Fig background piece was easily done by stamping the row of glasses from Half Full until the background was totally full! I used one of the Gold Faceted Gems and Black Mini Sequin Trim to embellish the card.

Thanks for visiting...have a GREAT day!

You've Got Style

The You've Got Style stamp set is normally not a set I would choose, but the eccentric looking lady featured in this set cracked me up!

Hopefully my friends will feel the same when they receive birthday cards featuring her in the coming year!

She was fun to watercolor using my Aqua Painter and ink pooled inside the lids of my ink pads. You cannot really tell from photo, but I also used Wink of Stella on her bling to add some sparkle.

Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst is the color combo I used. The Black Mini Sequin Trim adds some style layered over the Berry Burst Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon.

Have a great day!
