Twofer Card Challenge #7: Beverage

Since the beginning of the Twofer Card Challenge back in January, the 10th has quickly become one of my favorite days of the month!  It is so fun to announce a new Twofer theme and watch as the ideas start filling the gallery.  This month's theme for the Twofer Card Challenge is beverage and I chose one of my very favorite Simon Says Stamp sets, Lemonade.  It is now retired, *sigh*.

This first card is about as CAS as I can get.  The images were stamped with HA Lemon Yellow die ink.  I hope you can read the sentiment, it is very clear irl.  I used the same Lemon Yellow ink to blend the white heat embossed sentiment panel and the banner behind it.  Here's my tip of the day: start with light yellow card stock rather than white, it made life so much easier for me!  The lemon slices and glass got a heaping helping of WOS.

This card was a fun combination of white heat embossing and Zig Clean Color Brush Pens.  It gave a watercolor look but with enough control to ink in the definition at the bottom of the glass and the top of the liquid.  My favorite part is where two colors meet as the glasses overlap. 

Supplies:
Stamps:  SSS Lemonade, MFT Bitty Bears
Dies:  SSS You, Sizzix circle die (for the lemon slices)
Paper:  Bristol Smooth CS for Zig coloring
Ink:  HA Lemon Yellow, VersaMark, Zigs - Orange, Deep Violet, Yellow, Carmine Red, Lemon Yellow, Light Pink, Light Blue, Blue Gray, Cobalt Blue
Other: Wink of Stella, SSS fine detail white embossing powder

We would love to see how you choose to use one stamp or die to make two different designs for two different occasions!  I hope you will be inspired by our design team and our special guests, Bonnie and Marianne over at the Twofer Card Challenge blog.  See you in the gallery!

Thanks for coming over to visit.  I hope you are having a wonderful day!
