Now onto my card inspiration for this hop. First up, a wine card with a little bit of sass.
Sentiment: Age and glasses of wine should never be counted. ~ Italian Proverb
For this card, I used a new wine themed background and paired it with an older wine girl named Marlo, an itty bitty fashionista. This was fun to make.
Next up, a beer themed masculine tag card for the beer connoisseur.
Sentiment: Cheers. (And lots of beer sentiments in the background.)
Finally, my last card project is all about stenciling and friends.
Sentiment: Happy Birthday. Forever Young.
For the birthday card, I used ink blending with a stencil. No other coloring was used, Adding coloring to the girls is optional.
Here are quick videos outlining the making of these cards.
For even more creative card making ideas and step-by-step techniques, go see my card making classes. I have an array of online class video bundles, individual courses and an optional all-access Gold Club membership. There is something for everyone.
The following is a list of supplies, combined, for all three cards in today's blog post. As always, it is great to incorporate what you already have on hand.
