Hello there. Welcome to December!! Can you believe that we are already in the last month of 2021?
Here's a big 'Cheers' to everyone. It's time for the holiday festivities to start, and what better image could I have used than a nice cool glass of lager? This 'Bring On The Beers' is a super stamp set for all those in your life that love a glass of beer or lager. Of course, it is from the last release by Visible Image and if you like it, just drop lots of hints about a present that you'd love to get on 25th December 😉
There are lots of photos here because I've tried to show you most steps in the way I coloured this image, so let's just crack on.
First, stamp the image in a yellow colour onto some scrap card. I used a water-based ink because I used alcohol markers to colour.
Next lay down a base of the palest yellow you can find.
Then add some darker brown to the edge on one side of the glass and part way along the top under the froth.
Add more colour with an apricot coloured marker and blend it where it meets the darker brown.
Repeat that process on the bottom right of the glass, and add a tiny bit of the darker colours towards the top next to where the 'shine' from the glass will appear. Then use some greys and a white marker on the bottom of the glass. Just use a little bit of colour around the edges.
Now for the froth inside the glass. (I left the froth on the top alone). Use some pale, creamy beige colours with the darker colurs on the left hand side of the froth.
When you are happy with the result, cover the image with glossy accents and set it aside to dry. Once dried you will cut the image out.
Now for the tag background:
Onto a piece of scrap card, blend antique linen distress ink through the Time Tunnel Stencil
Now use speckled egg on top with the ripples stencil
Next use Tattered rose, and wild honey through the circles on the Two Tone stencil.
Then use the 'bubbles' stamp in the set with hickory smoke. Cut a tag out from this and (once the ink is dried on the background) stamp and clear emboss the sentiment onto another spare piece, edging both pieces with some blended grey ink.
On a separate square shaped panel, stamp the bubbles around the edge in the hickory smoke ink. Put everything together onto a card blank.
