Card Patterns sketch #155-Sponsored by DRS Designs


Hello friends!  I have a new Card Patterns sketch to share with you today.  This week we're sponsored again by DRS Designs.  They provided the designers with some cute rubber stamps to use on our projects, and my package of goodies included the Large Beer Mug!


With the upcoming St. Patrick's Day holiday, I couldn't help but think of green beer.  *grin*  But I stopped short of coloring the beer green, and instead made a Wild Wasabi card base stamped repeatedly with the word "cheers".  

I stamped the beer mug onto Rustic White cardstock and colored it with my Prisma pencils.  I cut it out and popped it up with foam dots on a Rustic White circle stamped with a woodgrain "table".

The Garden Green strip is debossed with polka dots (I was thinking of bubbles rising in the mug) and embellished with some brown twine and buttons.

Cardstock:  Stampin' Up! (Wild Wasabi, Garden Green), Papertrey Ink (Rustic White)
Stamps:  DRS Designs (Large Beer Mug), Papertrey Ink (Fresh Alphabet), WPlus9 Design Studio (Woodgrain Silhouettes)
Ink:  Stampin' Up! (Early Espresso)
Tools:  Spellbinders (circle die), Papertrey Ink (Polka Dot impression plate), corner rounder
Accessories:  Papertrey Ink (buttons), Pebbles, Inc. (twine)
Coloring medium:  Prismacolor Premier pencils

I hope you enjoy this week's sketch and will find some time to play along this week!  Thanks again for your visit!

Wow, Christina, I've never seen a card like this from you!! It is the perfect St. Patty's Day card...any guy, especially would love it :)

Yes,this is a great card for St Patty's day, but it's a wonderful "guy" card for any occasion. So difficult sometimes to come up with "new" masculine card ideas. Definitely going to keep this in mind the "beer buddy' men in my life.
TFS, Jean ~
