Happy 4th of July!! I am enjoying a quiet day after the rush of family and waiting for the fireworks display tonight.
In the mean time, we are hopping with the team over at Skipping Stones.
Hop along and leave some blog love for our designers for a chance to win one of 2 great prizes! The Ribbon Carousel will be giving away a ribbon carousel and Skipping Stones Design will be giving away a stamp set of the winner's choice! Winners will be announced on Saturday at 8:00 PM EST!
I got a fun Margarita Birthday stamp set to work with, and I enjoyed inking up the margarita glass. I stamped it, and then added the sentiment. Then I drew the line around the image and matted in on some fun new Bazzill Card Shoppe cardstock. I colored the glass with Copics and then added some liquid glass to the them image. I finished it off with some Stickles to imitate the salt look.
I added some of the Ribbon Carousel’s fun colored twine to the front, keeping the overall card very simple.
Then I wanted to add the rest of the sentiment to the inside of the card. I created a basic design, adding some more twine to the bottom again. I stamped and colored the salt shaker, adding *salt* or stickles to the inside.
This was a fun set to play with and I’m anxious to use it again for many more fun Birthday cards!!
Great looking card and one of my favorite drinks!

I liked the various techniques you used on your card, especially the stickles for the salt. The choice of the twine was a great idea to keep it simple. Thanks for sharing your talent and thanks, also, to Ribbon Carousel and SSD for the opportunity to win a prize.
