Cocktails!

 Oh!  I'm so in love with this stamp set.  It's one I didn't think I needed .... until I saw all the cute cards everyone was making with it!  There are images of coffee, cookies, cocktails and chocolate with this set.  I am not a coffee drinker but cocktails, chocolate and cookies .... well, I love them!


First I stamped the cocktail glass image with Gray Granite ink all over the Shimmery White Cardstock.  The shimmer paper takes the water a bit better than Whisper White Cardstock.   There is less warping.  I used my Clear Block as a pallet for mixing the inks - Daffodil, Rocco Rose, Coastal Cabana.  I was able to mix them with water to make the ink lighter or darker.  It was a fun process to paint each drink, squeezing out water on my block with the Aqua Painter when I needed it.  When I had too much water on the image, I just blotted with a paper towel.  I used a die from Tasteful Labels Dies for the sentiment.

Nothing's Better Than ....

This bundle is so cute!  It was inspired by Connie Stewart who is one of Stampin' Up's Million Dollar Achiever.  I have seen some really cute cards with this set.
