I CHOSE NOT TO USE THE SENTIMENT ON MY CARD BUT TO SIMPLY LET IT INSPIRE ME. MY GIRLS NIGHT OUT CARD WAS STAMPED, COLORED WITH PRISMA PENCILS AND FINISHED WITH BABY OIL. IT WAS THEN COVERED WITH A THIN LAYER OF CLEAR EMBOSSING POWDER AND EMBOSSED. THE MARTINI GLASS WAS STAMPED AND CUT OUT. THE SAME IMAGE WAS STAMPED ON THE RED LAYER WITH VERSA MARK INK. THEN THE WHOLE THING WAS ASSEMBLED...THE FINAL THING I DID WAS TO PUNCH OUT GREEN AND RED CIRCLES TO CREATE A COUPLE OF OLIVES AND PUT THEM ON A TOOTHPICK.

Outstanding card...everything is so perfect from your sentiment to your colors, to the cute Christmas martini glass, to the dp and colorful ribbons and brads. Most of all I think it is so creative of you the way you used a real toothpick in your perfect little olives. Remarkable job. TSMFS
