WHISKEY BUSINESS

Both my boys have become Bourbon connoisseurs, so this stamp set was on my radar from the very beginning when I saw the new catalog!  In fact, I’ve been known to enjoy some Chocolate Bourbon myself!  I created this card and matching tag on the cello bag that holds a small bottle of Buffalo Trace Bourbon.

Here’s the card:

Stampin’ Details:

• • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Night of Navy cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Cinnamon Cider cardstock.
  • A 2-1/2 x 4-3/4 piece of World of Good Designer Paper in the Navy check pattern is added to the right side.
  • A 2-1/4 x 3-1/2 piece of Whisper White cardstock is added to the left side.
  • You’re Top Shelf is stamped with Memento Black Ink on a 1/2 x 3-1/2 strip of Cinnamon Cider cardstock, then a 1/2 x 3-3/4 strip of Brass Cardstock added under it, then added to the front.
  • The Whiskey decanter and glass were stamped with Memento Black Ink, then colored with Dark Mango Melody, Light & Dark Cinnamon Cider Blends.  Around the glass was colored with Light Soft Sea Foam Blends.  They were hand-cut and added with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the front.
  • A Champagne Rhinestone was added to next to the greeting.
  • Some Wink of Stella was added to the decanter and glass to make them reflective.
