And here is my take:

My first thought with these colors was a flower, but I really wanted to do something else. I just re-joined the birthday RAK group at SCS so I am in need of birthday cards. I thought the Happy Hour set would work well for these colors.

Originally I just had the top portion blank with two different drinks stamped above the ribbon, but it felt too bare. I flipped the paper over and did the random stamping instead. I like how this one turned out.

It is hard to see in the picture, but the top of the glass and the bottom of the liquid both have glitter on them.

And here is my take:

For this sketch, I started by browsing my digital stamp index and looking for things that I could put as the trio of accents across the banner. I came up with a few ideas, but since the Hot Concoctions set hadn’t been inked yet, I thought that would be my best choice 🙂

To cut the cup, I did cut up the side and through the bottom handle to cut out the little piece between handle and cup. Once I was done I just put a tiny piece of tape to hold it back together and all is fine (much easier for me than an exacto knife).

For the cup contents I used Dark Chocolate ink, but stamped off to get a mottled sort of look.

The steam is done with glitter embossing powder.

The color scheme is very earthy. To make the card light, I used the colors in little bits and kept lots of white space.
