Three Shades of Sparkling Wine - RS22 & PP106


This is my second post for the day, but I needed to get this in for Retro Sketches 22.  This card also plays along with The Paper Players 106, which is a tic tac toe challenge.  The tic tac toe challenges are always so much fun.  I chose to go with Birthday, Ribbon, & Dry Embossing
My sister-in-law has a birthday on Saturday, so this one's for her.  She's a stamper too, and I know she appreciates all that goes into handmade cards. 
I knew I wanted to use colors from the new In-Color Collection from SU.  While browsing the pack, I noticed that the Primrose Petal and Raspberry Ripple sort of reminded me of wine colors.  Aha!  I could use my Happy Hour set and do a wine themed card!  I picked Bravo Burgandy as a third color and set to work coming up with this little gem.  I also knew I wanted to use this wide striped black ribbon for the ribbon element in the PP challenge, so that's where the black trim comes in.


I made a paper rosette to take place of the button in the sketch and added a rhinestone brad to the center.  I carried the sparkle of the brad through to the little rhinestones on the wine glasses. 
Here's a list of supplies I used....
Stamps: Happy Hour
Paper: Bravo Burgandy, Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petal, Vanilla, Black
Ink: Black, Bravo Burgandy, Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petal
Accessories: Rhinestone stickers, Rhinestone brad, Scallop Border punch, Black Striped ribbon, Perfect Polka Dots, Square Lattice, and other EF
Thanks for taking a peek!

  4. How fun is this, Jenny!? I love everything about it from the rich color combo, to the blinged accents in the wine, to that fabby rosette. The striped ribbon is a perfect touch. Thanks so much for joining us this week at the Paper Players! :)
