Root Beer Float

Good Afternoon!

The other day I took my Mom out for a Root Beer Float and then decided to try and make one.....on a card!

This card will be entered into the Challenges at Curtain Call, Mason Jar and at Stamp TV, Count Your Layers and MFT Sketch.

 


 
I used the Gina K Designs stamp sets, Buds And Vases and Sweet Strawberries.  MFT Blueprints #12 for flower and sentiment banner, Bracket Edge Duo on inside.  Spellbinders Labels 3 die set. 

 
I've counted 17 layers.  Spellbinders die cuts were cut first out of a very thick card stock and layered with brown card stock and Designer Paper.  The mason jar stamp was also stamped on to the same thick card stock and then a piece of Vellum.  Both colored using a brown Copic Marker and fussy cut out.  Designer Paper by My Mind's Eye, Lost & Found, Blush.

 
Glitter added to the flower center and the foam on top.  A Straw, Ribbon, and Enamel Brads for accents.  I also added some drops of Glossy Accents to mimic condensation.
 
Slurp!
 
Thanks for coming by.
 
Enjoy~~

  2. I have not been on Facebook this afternoon, too busy working on birthday cupcake picks for my grand daughter Eliza's 9th tomorrow. I was just wondering if you were taking Mom out for breakfast or lunch lately. I have not seen pictures. This card looks so good, Sharyn has the right idea. Wish I had one too.

    1. I just cut out some white card stock in the shape of a 'cloud' and then covered it in glitter, it's totally flat, but kind of looks 3D here. ;)

  5. Love this card, You can a simple sketch and make it dynamic. Love your mix of papers and your mason jar. Like Judy I wonder how you got the foam and this card is a winner. I did a beer mug a couple of years ago and I used liquid applique for the foam. I made several of them for my beer drinking nieces and nephews,

  7. I can almost taste that ice cold root beer float. Adding the glossy accents to the jar makes it look so real. Nicely done!
