Aging Like Perfect Wine :)

Welcome back bloggie friends. Today is my brother's birthday and although late, I did put a card in the mail for him that I made a few days ago.  It would have been on time if it didn't have to swim, in slow motion, all the way across the Atlantic :)

For his card, I used the Aged to Perfection stamp set from Fiskars. It is one of my go to stamp sets when I need a card for a guy and in a hurry to boot.

 

I coloured the image with my copic markers and cut the mat with the Spellbinders Labels 8 dies.  The cardstock and DP are all from my stash, as are the brads and the ribbon. In fact, this card was made using all scraps! I feel so proud lol.  My scraps tend to multiply in their drawers, and I tend to forget to use them, so as you can imagine, I have loads and loads.  I didn't have burgundy brads, so I just coloured some white ones that I had in my little pot.

For the inside I used a another stamp from the same set, and layered the same papers.

 

This would have been one of those really quick cards, except that it takes me a long time to colour.  Looking at the pictures above, the grapes look more like cherries but they are in actual fact burgundy - about the same colour as the bottle of wine and the wine in the glass.  The camera didn't capture the correct colour.  Note that this was the camera ~ not operator error :)

 

Have a wonderful day and till next time,

keep on crafting.

 

Hugs,

Lena
