Naughty or Nice Challenge #49 - Drink Up!

Another fun graphic (Bravo, Danielle) heralds the start of another fun challenge over at Naughty or Nice!

This month we've got a favourite challenge of mine: Drink Up!

Although alcohol may be the first thing that springs to mind, the Troublemakers aren't worried whether your card features wine, beer, coffee or another beverage of your choice - it just has to show something you can drink!

My card for this challenge features champagne... and pink champagne at that!

I made this card for my cousin's wife, Sandra, who is celebrating her birthday today. The sweet, little champagne flute comes from a Technique Tuesday Christmas set 'Keep Calm and be Merry' and the sentiment was printed on my PC.

I am really pleased with how the card base turned out. You can't really tell on the screen how twinkly and pretty the hearts are. I mixed embossing paste and Distress Stickles and spread them across a hear stencil. The finished effect is gorgeous and definitely a technique I'll be used again!

I'm also linking to Challenge #161 at Addicted to Stamps - Have a Heart. I'm not sure I've ever played there before, but I love the DT cards and the linky gallery looks awesome!

We're saying a goodbye and an au revoir over at Naughty and Nice this month, but we're delighted to have a long time friend of the challenge stepping in to help out. If you want to see who our fabulous guest DT is, why not head over, take a look and play along...
