Today's card features the Die-Versions Mixed Drinks die and is a bright, fun card which would be perfect for celebrating just about anything.
To start off, I die cut the image twice from white cardstock and once from black fun foam. I kept all the negative pieces from the first die cut and colored these with Copic markers. Sunny Daze glitter was also added to the flower centers and Glossy Accents was added to the drinks.
After coloring the second die cut with Copic markers, I adhered this layer over the die cut with all negative pieces, automatically giving me extra dimension. A trick I learned from my fellow team mate, Lisa, was to add a "shadow" die cut. (Thanks, Lisa.) Instead of black cardstock, the image was die cut from black fun foam, my favorite way to add dimension without having to worry about cutting down dimensional dots to fit the space.
The corrugated circle was recycled from a cookie tin and Fireworks Ink spray (Dandelion) gave it a fun, vibrant color. The background layer was created using Bister wood stains on regular cardstock and a water brush.
My sentiment was die cut using the DV Cuppycake font, colored with Copic markers, and then covered with Glossy Accents.
