SUMMER BEVERAGES FOR SIMPLY MONDAY

The featured stamp set this week is Brewed for You.  It has coordinating dies called Brewed Dies.  Summer definitely arrived in Michigan last week with temps in the 80s - 90s.  Today's card sports a variety of colorful drinks to keep us hydrated.


I designed my drinks for the bright colors, but not being an aficionado of colorful drinks, I'm not sure what they really are.  Will you help me identify them?  Leave a note in the comments if you know what drinks are these colors.

The background from my beverages is one of the pretty designs from Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper (DSP).  This is a happy, colorful collection of DSP with a range of bright bold graphical prints to this softer design.  Click on the link in the product list below to see all the designs in the Bright & Beautiful Collection.


The dotted background was made with one of the embossing folders from the Basics On-Line Collection of embossing folders.


The drinks were all colored with Stampin' Blends, and I used the Color Lifter Blend to lighten some spots to look like bubbles.  A coating of clear Wink of Stella on the drinks and a few Iridescent Rhinestones scattered on the card front add some more "bubbles."

A Lemon Lime Twist leaf was added as a garnish for each glass.  I used Lemon Lime Twist cardstock for my little leaf because -- well, what could be a more appropriate name for a garnish on a summery drink?

A coating of clear Wink of Stella and a few Iridescent Rhinestones add some more "bubbles" for our card.

I think this will make a cute thank you card for a "fancy drink" lover, don't you?
