Brewed For You

This month our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hops will feature songs with colors in them!  This week’s song is “Ruby Puts Her Red Dress On” by Joel Crouse!

BREWED FOR YOU

I love the Brewed For You set for men with the beer mugs and such, but thought I’d make one for the ladies!  We have a group of friends that we’ve know since our kids were in preschool and 30 years later, we still get together for hors d’oeuvres and drinks at least once every couple months.  Now we all have grandkids to talk about, although our health issues are cropping into our conversations more and more!  lol!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Sweet Sorbet cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
• A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Smoky Slate was added on top.
• Next a 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Regals Cherry Cobbler plaid DSP was added to the front.
• A 2-1/2 x 4-1/4 piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock was embossed with the Splatters Embossing folder and added to the front.
• A 1 x 3-3/4 strip of polka dot Cherry Cobbler Regals DSP was added over it.
• The greeting from Brewed for You was stamped with Memento Black Ink on 1/2 x 2-3/4 piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock and the ends cut at an angle.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Two wine glasses were stamped with Smoky Slate Ink on Basic White cardstock and the wine with Cherry Cobbler Ink.  They were cut with the Brewed Dies.
• Around the edges of the glass, Light Pool Party Blends was added.
• The second from largest Stylish Shapes circle was cut from Basic White and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The wine glasses were added with more Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• A couple Iridescent Rhinestones were added to the wine.

I thought my ruby red wine worked well for today’s theme, don’t you?  I also love the combo of Cherry Cobber and Sweet Sorbet colors!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
