Rise and Shine or Have a Little Wine Cards

Hi chippie fans!  Barbara here with a couple of easy to make cards for you.  I think you will get a kick out of these.  I am an avid coffee drinker, and I like a glass of wine now and then.  So, these shape sets from Gina's Designs Lasercuts were right up my alley! Understanding that I am not the only one who appreciates a good cup of coffee or a fine glass of wine,  I knew they would make great cards.

Card 1 is obviously for the wine lovers.   I used Derwent Inktense blocks with a water brush to color the chipboard pieces from the Wine Shape Set.  However, the cork screw tip was colored with a silver marker, and the chipboard cork shape was covered with a scrap of cork paper on which I stamped "WINE" with black archival ink.  The card stock doily was added as a backdrop for the wine bottle and glasses, which I covered with a light coat of 3D Crystal Lacquer.  I die cut a vintage tag from a print paper, edged with Dusty Concord distress ink, stamped the sentiment with black archival ink, and adhered to the card.

As for card 2, I covered the coffee cup with print paper and added a scrap of corrugated kraft card as a coffee cup sleeve.  The spoon was inked with Versamark ink and heat embossed with silver embossing powder. I used white Inktense Blocks with a water brush to color the steam swirl.  I stamped "Rise and Shine" onto a flower print from the paper, colored "SHINE" with a white gel pen, cut it out and adhered to the card with foam dots.

Vino and ColourArte Challenge by Barb

I was so thrilled when Gina's Designs came out with the Wine Shape Set! I was waiting for a visit from my family and knew that we'd be going to a couple of wineries while they were here. And we did! So, I didn't have to dig deep at all for inspiration for this piece.

I had also recently received some of ColourArte's Silk Acrylics and Twinkling H2Os, and they paired with Gina's Designs; like... wine and cheese.

For the background of this piece I began with a 9 x 12" canvas on which I slathered blue, green and purple acrylic paints and some of the Silk Acrylics. I got one of my Twinkling H2Os good and soppy, dipped a wet brush in it, and then flung the color onto the canvas. I followed up with a french script stamp using StazOn Claret.

For the bottles, I painted them (and all the other pieces) first with gesso. Once the gesso was dry I painted on Silk Acrylics Olive Vine. I love the way they shimmer when the light hits them!

For the glasses, I used Silk Acrylics Iridescent Blue. I free-handed some wine in the glasses using Sharpie Markers. Then I gave both glasses a coat of Judkins Diamond Glaze to make them look like glass.

For the grape vines, I colored in the vines with a brown Sharpie, the leaves with a Distress marker, and the grapes with a combination of StazOn colors. Then I smooshed Distress Stickles around on the leaves. To give the grapes a little more depth, I dotted on StazOn Studio Glaze and Stickles.

I glued everything where I wanted it and have a piece that will find a happy home hanging over someone's wine bar. Plus, I got to revisit a couple of wonderful days wandering the countryside and trying some delicious wines.
