Cheers!

 

Hello! 
Welcome to my little crafting place! 

It's Daring Cardmakers Day again and this week it's Joanne in the hot seat setting the challenge!

Cheers!

Let’s raise a glass to our shared hobby this week — whether your favoured tipple is beer, wine, champagne, orange juice, lemonade, cocktail or mocktail, show us what you’re drinking. 

Salut! Sante! Sláinte mhath!

 

This isn;t the card I was planning to make!
At the weekend I'd treated myself to an hour or so playing with my wax seal making stash.  Among the seal stampers I bought a few weeks back (and haven't had the chance to try out yet) was a cute little drinking glass which would be great to use for this challenge.  I made a few seals I was fairly happy with, but then looking around for what else to use on my card I got diverted by the different glss shapes I found in my die collection!
I couldn't think how to work my wax seal into a card with the 'cocktails' I made, so made this instead
All the dies are by Spellbinders, though from different sets, some old some new

I thought it was a bit of a shame that I'd not managed to use a wax seal after all, so I thought I'd see if I had any paper pads that would work with one of them, and was lucky that I found an old Carta Bella 6x6 pad within just a few minutes - lucky because I would probably have lost the inclination if I'd had to go through too many boxes of paper pads!

So I made this one just using paper from the pad  for the background and the sentiment, and just needed to add a little loop for extra interest
