I'm so glad that the challenge over at Less is More lasts for two weeks otherwise I would have missed it again! This challenge is:
This challenge will last for two weeks over the festivities and we have
decided to start our Christmas celebrations with a whizz and have chosen
DRINKS
as our recipe.
You can choose tea, coffee, water, sodas, alcohol of course if you wish,
in fact any drink at all... but all of us...Chrissie, Mandi and Jen
would like to wish all of you a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous
and healthy New Year.
Cheers!
As soon as I saw it I remembered I had seen a stamp buried under other "stuff" recently and thought it would do. It's called "Party Girl" by Strawberry Kisses. I stamped the image twice with black Memento ink and coloured the first one with Flexmarkers. I then cut out the umbrella and the two cherries and lemon slice. These were also coloured with Flexmarkers. I then used Diamond Glaze on the cherries and the bowl of the glass and popped the cherries and umbrella up on pop dots to give dimension.I used nesties to cut the image and the mat and used a circle punch for each end of the sentiment. I've added two pieces of lace joined in the middle as an embellishment.
I'd like to wish everyone a healthy and happy New Year - see you on the other side!

Oh, Karendipity, well done!! Another adorable drinkie-poo image - love it! You've showcased it brilliantly with all the textures!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting so chaffed, hon, sitting here on these pins and needles for weeks now! Just kidding, I can only imagine how trying it is getting for both you and Tony and I applaud you that you can do this sort of thing together. My Mister would have a sharp object ... well, I won't say more in case there is ever a call into a court of law ...
Take your time, truly, with the organizing and moving in. The bottom line goal is to be in there when it's done and be happy with where things are, not start immediately wishing you had put this there, and so on. We will be here waiting to see it, however long it takes!
Sending love and all best wishes for a happy new year and mostly, a smooth year, health-wise! Dippy
fabulous card Karen, happy new year to you and yours...pam
