Barbara's 411 Challenge #162


This all started because I wanted to make a card for a beer loving guy's birthday.  Maybe I will play with it some more -  I still think it needs an accent. 

The beer itself was colored with so saffron and then a layer of smooch spriz to give it some luster. 

The textured piece is aluminum foil run through the big shot.  It works pretty well. 

Consider this a work in progress.  Does anyone have suggestions?

This was the challenge.  It's a stretch but fun to play with.  Check out what our other friends have done at http://stamping411.blogspot.com/

  3. Love the foil, it's the perfect accent...I always want to add a little something extra to masculine cards, and this would be perfect because it could be a beer can!
