Hoppy Birthday

When I saw the new Beer-themed dies and sentiments from My Favorite Things, I knew I needed to add them to my stash.  I used them for the current My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge.

I inked white cardstock with three colors of Distress Oxide Ink (Mustard Seed, Wild Honey and Rusty Hinge), and then die cut the My Favorite Things Frosty Beer Mug Die-namics.   After die cutting, I added a big more ink along the edges and at the bottom and then splattered with water to try to give the effect of the bubbles in the beer. 

I die cut the foam for the mug twice from textured watercolor paper and turned the one on the back upside down to give some more dimension to the foam (using a very thin foam tape between the layers).

I used this Bokeh designer paper from my stash and added some circles punched from Shimmer Vellum for the other two circle elements in this week's My Favorite Things Weekly Sketch Challenge and then I stamped the sentiment from My Favorite Things Here's to You in Rusty Hinge Distress Ink.  I paired it with some rusty designer paper from Crate Paper Metal Textures.

I took my color inspiration (and a drink as well) from the Just Add Ink Challenge.

I'm also joining the I spy Something beginning with "B"  from the Allsorts Challenge with my Beer & Bokeh.
