For Lisa's fun WTUI challenge to mark National Wine Day, you'll be able to find it HERE.
I had very few suitable stamps, but I'm always happy to pull this one out - in fact, I have this one in woodmount and in the smaller version where he is the French Hen in the PB 12 Days of Christmas set. This is the larger wood-mounted one, stamped on white card and coloured with Inktense pencils, and a little sponging on the background.
For the front, I used Yupo paper with distress inks and some rubbing alcohol to blend them a little. Then I stamped the script stamp over it, and cut the aperture.
The ivy leaves stand in well for a vine - I used alcohol inks on photo paper to cut them. For a few at the bottom of the card, I edged them with a Sharpie and then dipped a Q-tip in alcohol to blend the edges in a bit. The grapes are just circles punched from a scrap of paper sponged with dusty concord, shaped with a stylus before adding. I stamped the sentiment on a trimmed-off strip of the Yupo, and popped it up on foam.
I used a gold marker all round the edges of the main panel. It felt a little tacky, maybe it wasn't going to dry properly on the Yupo? So I added Crackle Accents over it. This panel is popped up on foam above the little French hen.

FANTASTIC!! This is certainly going into my favs of the year, Sabrina. You sneak in so many great techniques. The gold with the crackle paste is just the perfect touch. I love all the bright colos and the "grspes".

Sabrina,
The colors of the bg are so wonderfully warm and inviting as is your cute image! My favorite thing about this card is the grapes and vines!! They just stand out so!!
