You Had Me At Merlot

Hello crafters!  Here's another one for the wine enthusiasts among us.  I cut two of the Tiled Backgrounds in white and sort of crisscrossed them to create an interesting design and glued them down on to a piece of Arctic Blue card.. I cut the wine bottle from the Merlot set out of Khaki card and added it to the left side.  I cut the wine glass twice, once out of white card and once out of wine card.  I cut the "liquid" portion out of the wine card and glued it on top of the white wine glass.  I used a blue pencil to add highlights.  I cut the grapes out of purple card and added a backing to them by embossing the grapes and trimming buy hand around the edge.  I cut the leaf out of khaki card and glued it on top.  I used a white pencil to highlight both the wine bottle and the grapes.  I cut the sentiment  from the Merlot set out of wine card and glued it to the top of the frames,  Using the Double Stitched Squares, I cut a multi-layered white frame and added it with mounting foam over the background.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  7 3/4" in size.

Tomorrow morning starts the January die release blog launch here at 6am.  I hope you can join us then.  I have some great new dies and fun cards to share!  All for now. Sue x

    Can’t wait to see the new release, I have had a peak but can tell it is one of those releases where everything is so new we need to see what magic you work with your dies before no making any decisions
