Hello! Hope you're having a great day. Here in my neighborhood the sun is finally shining after several days of cloudiness. There's something about sunshine that perks me up. And there's nothing like friends and wine to make a day even better. Hence the theme of this birthday card that I made for my best, oldest and dearest friend.
I began my cutting a piece of white card stock for my focal panel. (This card turned out to be large, 7x7 inches, due to the die cuts I used.) Next, I die cut two (2) wine rack images, overlapped the ends and adhered them togther in order to fit the panel. The grape vine was cut and paper pieced and then adhered to the top of the wine rack
For my next step, I die cut the wine basket image in kraft card stock and then cut the bottle out of the basket. The basket was sponged with ink along the edges. I cut another wine basket image in white (without cutting out the bottle) and then colored just the bottle part with Copics and then adhered it to the back of the basket image. In doing this it gave the wine basket some dimension. The completed wine basket was then adhered to the wine rack.
The wine glass was die cut, colored and shaded with Copics, and adhered to the wine rack. Finally, the large grape bundle image and the sentiment were positioned and adhered to the card. The focal panel was then matted with purple card stock and then adhered to a white base card.
