Clink Clink, Cheers

Clink Clink, Cheers

Hi everyone, Maria here!  Need a card for an upcoming celebration?  Here is my Clink Clink Cheers card made using as couple of stamp sets from Colourific.

Here’s what you will need:

5x5” White card base 
4.2 x 4” Light Grey card
4 x3.7” White card
2.5 x 5” White card
A5 Rings stamp set from Colourific
Champagne and Cocktails stamp set from Colourific
Distress Ink Mermaid Lagoon
Distress Ink Tea Dye
Distress Ink Peacock Feathers
Stencil from stash
Versafine onyx black
Hearts washi tape (from the shop that sells things for £1)

Here us how to make the card

• Stamp the star ring onto the centre of the 4x3.7” white card stock in Marine lagoon distress Ink.

• Stamp one glass from the Champagne and Cocktails stamp set in Tea dye distress Ink, then mask the image and stamp another opposite and slightly on the mask.

• Colour partly with the Tea dye ink and stamp the sparkle dots just above the glasses in the same colour Ink.

• Stamp With Love from the Champagne and Cocktails set in Versafine.

• Mount onto the light grey square card

• Swish the 2.5x5” White card through some water spritzed Peacock feathers Distress Ink and dry with a heart gun.

• Mount the distressed Ink panel onto the left hand side of the card blank.

• Add Washi tape to the middle edge of the distressed panel.

• Attach the topper to the card base using 3D foam pads.

• To add a touch of sparkle i painted over the glasses using Spectrum Noir clear glitter Ink.

This is a very versatile card that can be customised to fit many celebrations, from Weddings, Engagements to exam congratulations. 

Watch out for my sneaky peek of the samples of the upcoming Hochanda Launch.
