Cheers To You

The challenge this week at Papercraft Star is umbrellas.
It took me a while to figure out what I was going to do. I was originally thinking April Showers. But I don't have a single umbrella stamp. Hmmm what's a girl to do. Then the light bulb came on...a cocktail umbrella!
The fun red polka dot paper, fruit stamps and sentiment are from Stampin' Up! I'm sure all long retired, because I think I've had them for a good 5 or 6 years. Yep, I did it. I finally did it. I cut some of that paper I hoard and finally inked up a stamp I just had to have years ago! YAY! It was a bit over due! Lol
The glass was made from vellum paper that I inked up to have some yellow color. I used some scor-tape to add the salt  glitter to the glass and envelope. I used one of my son's bendy straws and a cocktail umbrella to finish off my fruity drink. Ta da!

    I just absolutely love this card Jennifer. When I saw that drink glass all frosted with the straw and umbrella I couldn't do anything but grin from ear to ear. So clever and fun. :-)

    This is such a fun idea, Jennifer! I think I have some lemon slice vellum that would be perfect for a CASE ;). And that glitter rim is the perfect finishing touch! Way to pay attention to the details!
