I've had a very indulgent day in my craft room trying to get ahead with a bunch of design projects, but I couldn't resist making something for fun too so I have a quick post to share a card I made for a few challenges:

The ladies over at TGIF Challenges have a product spotlight on the Celebratory Sips Suite and what better way to celebrate with the Inkspirational team than with cocktails? The layout over at Just Add Ink was perfect for something I wanted to try with the Celebratory Sips designer series papers (I turned the sketch through 90 degrees) so I grabbed my paper snips and set to work! Here's my card:

Here's the low-down on today's card:
The Celebratory Sips designer series paper pack is full of vivid, watercoloured patterns featuring blocks, cocktails, fruit, flowers and more - everything you need to get the party started! I fussy cut a quartet of blocks, then layered these with various smaller images of fruit, glasses, bottles and jugs cut from another sheet, co-ordinating the colours for each panel:

I used another of the patterns as a matting layer and picked up the Cloud Cover colour to use as the base for my diecut sentiment from the (retired) Wanted To Say Dies, which I popped up on dimensionals and placed across the middle between the blocks. A few co-ordinating sequins from my stash complete my card.
Whilst this post may be quick, the card was a labour of love and did take me a little while - a triumph of fussy cutting, if you will and not a stamp set in sight for this one!
Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

Enjoy your day and I'll be back tomorrow with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!
