Today I’m sharing a card using two of the fabulous add-ons!
I am a HUGE fan of brunch so when I saw the Gal Pal Brunch set I was smitten! 😉 To start I stamped the champagne flutes and citrus slices with versamark and heat-embossed them with silver embossing powder. I colored them with copics and then die-cut them with the coordinating dies. I stamped the sentiment onto black cardstock and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder. I trimmed it down to a label and then worked on the background!
It’s a little tricky to see in photo but I stamped the Bursting With Love Bold Prints stamp onto a piece of white cardstock with versamark and heat-embossed it with sparkle embossing powder. Then I trimmed it down to 4″ by 5.25″ and adhered it to a white card base. Next I layered the glasses, citrus and sentiment and adhered them with a mix of regular adhesive and foam mounting tape. Finally I added a little clear lacquer to the glasses and sprinkled them with Snowfall glitter! This is such a fun set and perfect for your best girlfriends! 🙂
