Whiskey Business

This stamp set is great for making masculine cards for any occasion.  Today's card is for no specific occasion - yet......

The images were stamped with Basic Gray ink on a piece of Whisper White die cut with the stitched rectangle die. Masking was used to stamp the canister behind the glass.
A very light layer of Cinnamon Cider ink applied with an aqua painter, was used to color the whiskey; balmy blue to colour the glass and ice cubes.
Before adding this art piece to the card front, the edges were sponged with Night of Navy ink. The entire art piece was then embossed with clear embossing powder.

The card front is Night of Navy, layered with Cinnamon Cider and then In Good Taste DSP.

Night of Navy ink was used to stamp the sentiment, which was matted with Night of Navy and added to the card front using dimensionals.  A bow tied with Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker's twine was added below the sentiment.

Supplies Used:
Stamp:  Whiskey Business
Inks:  Basic Gray, Balmy Blue, Cinnamon Cider, Night of Navy, Versa Mark
Papers:  Night of Navy, Cinnamon Cider, Whisper White, In Good Taste DSP
Accessories:  Clear Embossing powder, Blue Adhesive Backed Gems, Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker's twine, Dimensionals, Aqua painter.

Blue adhesive backed Gems were added to the left.

Spread Your Wings... Try Stampin on Tuesday #465

Things that fly!   This was the optional theme with the sketch challenge with Try Stampin' on Tuesday #465 here.
I immediately envisioned a majestic eagle soaring over the mountains....

This Eagle, from Stacey Stamps, called "Freedom", is coloured with watercolor pencils and a blender pen and then fussy cut.  Dimensionals are used to add this majestic bird over a mountain scene created using the Waterfront stamp, and die cut with a circle die.

The circle is adhered to a Gray Granite rectangle, matted with Basic Gray card stock.  This is added to the card front with dimensionals.

The card base is Basic Gray layered with Smoky Slate with a 2" strip of "In Good Taste" DSP on the left.

All edges have been sponged with Smoky Slate ink.

The sentiment is from a stamp called "Spread Your Wings" created by my friend Marie the owner of Frog's and Whiskers store in Campbellford. After stamping with Smoky Slate ink, it is added to the card front below the bird, using dimensionals.  Selective words from the rest of the sentiment (highlighted with a Basic Black marker) were stamped on the inside of the card.

Some linen thread tied into a bow is added to the top corner of the sentiment.
