Dies R Us #173 ~ Whiskey Card

     Hello everyone, and welcome to our latest challenge at Dies R Us.

Challenge #173 ~ Anything Goes! 

(As long as you use a die sold at the Dies R Us store)

My son asked me to make a card for dad's birthday, so I came up with this card.

I die cut the whiskey bottle and glasses (there is another one on the inside)  out of vellum paper. Next I die cut another few pieces so that I could add whiskey colouring. The whiskey is showing up a lot redder than it actually is in real life, but that's what happens when you need photography lessons :-) Anyway, once all the pieces were cut and coloured, I adhered them together using a Zyron sticker maker. This way, the entire reverse side of the vellum is covered in glue preventing the ugly glue marks you sometimes see thru the vellum.

I love this paper I found in my scraps drawer, as it has gold accents which perfectly go with the gold on the bottle and the sentiment.  I die cut the word three times and adhered all the layers together to give it dimension and add stability.  I wasn't happy that it didn't pop enough, so I added a vellum banner behind it.

For the inside, I die cut the same background and added a whiskey glass.  For the greeting, I cut out two ovals, one in gold mirror cardstock and one in white and adhered them together.

That was it. My son liked and so did dad so mission accomplished :-)
