This is a clean and simple design (my favourite) with just a little masking and some bright and fun watercolours.
Tip: I saw a video by Fran (Stampdenous guru) where she uses a small 3" square post-it note pad. She stamps her images on the pad, making sure the top is on the sticky portion. Then she pulls off three post-it note sheets together, fussy-cuts the image and she now has a stack of the same masks to use many times. She always uses the masks from the back of the stack, leaving the image on top where you can see it. When she runs low, she can use the same image onto a new stack of post-it note sheets to fussy-cut some more. So clever!

These drinks look so colorful and refreshing, my friend! Wish I could sit on your deck with you and share them!
ReplyDeleteWe could have used one of these refreshing drinks today...95 degrees on the cool Oregon coast...we are up the river, which is 10 miles east of Coos Bay, but it even got up to 86 degrees in Coos Bay/North Bend and NO breeze...Hot!! TFS your cool CAS card design and your post it note masking tip too, my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy

What a yummy looking card Loll...I'll take one of the drinks with the strawberry in it! And what a great tip about the post it notes to cut multiple masks...definitely going to remember that one!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteLove that image Loll and the soft, summer colors you used on it. It looks wonderful! I can imagine sitting outside with a good book and those beverages there. Fun card!
ReplyDeleteThese drinks look so delicious, refreshing, and pretty, Loll! I was going to make virgin mojito this afternoon. :-)

You did a fantastic job of offline watercoloring these delicious looking drinks, Lolly! Man, could I use one of these now! It's stifling again. This morning we actually had thunder, lightening, and a few short bursts of heavy rain! Did someone pick up California and put it on the other side of the Rockies??! Thanks for the great tip about the post-it notes. Made me slap my forehead! Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeleteWow those drinks look good enought to sip right now Loll, even though it is late here. Not so hot as it has been but still very humid here. A few days ago it was up in the 80s which is really quite hot enough for me. That is a great tip about the post it notes. x
ReplyDeletethe perfect summer image Loll, I'm wondering if there's a little Vodka in one of those :)
ReplyDeleteSure brightened my day Loll..Such a happy card and the stamped and masked images are fabulous....Love It x.
ReplyDeleteCheers! These look fab and perfect for sipping in the sun.
ReplyDeleteGreat tip about the Post-It notes too xx
Yes please! They look so inviting... What a super stamp!
ReplyDeleteLove the graphic appeal to this card. That's what we've been drinking all summer long. The bright colours are definitely summer glory!
ReplyDeleteI'm 10 days behind and just having a quick look, but I had to stop here 'cause I just adore this refreshing fruity drink card! I'm a Stampendous fan all the way and now you make me want to go shopping. As if I don't have enough. This is completely fabulous, Loll!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, this card took me to the Indian Ocean, where such drinks were served. Your watercolor looks stunning, perfectly reflects the color and blended colors of all those sweet drinks that bring you cool on hot days. Your advice is very valuable, thank you for sharing it with us.
