A Little Cocktail

I stumbled across a challenge over at Just Add Ink #747 where I loved their colors: grey and yellow. That's all it took for me to get out some things to play...and I did change my mind several times! Here is my Lemon Drop Martini card that I figure can be a birthday, stress-reducing or congratulations card.








I used Spellbinders Olive Martini die set, Aura sequins, and My Favorite Things Holiday Cheers stamp set. I ink blended with Ranger distress inks. I kept looking up martinis to see what a Lemon Drop looks like and how I might shade the beverage itself. I love this patterned paper from JoAnn fabrics. I stamped and fussy-cut the sentiment and cut it into two pieces. It is supposed to say "Have yourself a Merry little Cocktail" but I just cut away the "merry". part.

I guess I'm ready for a holiday weekend now.

Thanks for stopping by!

Your lemon drop martini definitely looks good enough to drink! The soft grey background is fabulous to make the glass really stand out. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink.
