we're havin' a party ...

... or at least havin' a bit of fun with our stamps, eh? *smile*
Every week on the A Muse Addicts forum they highlight a couple of stamps. This week it's Patch and the flower drinks I used in the two cards above!

It doesn't get much simpler than this! Two layers, a bit of coloring, a sentiment and you've got great party invite in minutes!

Add another layer, repeat the image three times over, add twinkle stickers, the sentiment ... and you've stepped it up just a bit (without adding much time)!
When I want to repeat an image in a line like that, I stamp the image in the middle first and THEN on either side (lined up with a ruler to keep 'em straight).
I also used two of my favorite go-to design elements on this version: LOTS of twinkle stickers and a thin black layer. The blue twinkles were taken right off the packaging and stuck to the card. Took two seconds. Really. Like I said, this version took only slightly longer than the one layer version!

Close-up of the drinks, colored in with Copic Spicas. There's a lot of fuss about the Spicas these days. My opinion? Worth it all! They really are that fabulous (and the sparkle is great)! A few more Twinkle Stickers in the flower centers too!
Easy peasy cards. Bright, fun results in minutes!






TOO darn cute!!
