I knew that would get your attention! Hahaha. It was really warm this weekend here in Sac-town and a refreshing margarita would have been very nice. Maybe next weekend... This card is my entry for Taylored Expressions sketch challenge #105. I was having low crafty mojo today. I went through all my clear stamps and found this cute margarita set from Unity, and thought it would be fun to color. I then found a 6x6 paper pad from Junkitz called 'Salsa!' I knew it was meant to be.
Love these bright cheery colors - hope you do too.
I used my Copic Markers to color everything and then used Judikins Diamond Glaze over the contents of the blender to make it look shiny and 3-dimensional. I also added a ribbon of glitter to the top.
Another view... Don't be afraid to make your own embellishments! I didn't have anything that I thought would work for the accent, so I made my own. Colored and cut out another part of the stamp set and popped it up with some double sided foam tape. Oh..and some glitter too.
Hope this made your Monday a bit brighter. Have a good week!
Yeah, I could use a hot pink blender to make margaritas in too! Love this card and the stamp from Unity!

Nice card. I love the touch of the glaze on the margarita. Found your blog from the paper garden website. I too am a huge Cal fan. My dh and I both graduated from there in 07. Go Bears!

This card is so fun Wanda, great job. It does brighten my day and definitely makes me want a daquiri (I don't like tequila).
