Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Delicious Drinks Card using Papertrey Ink's Brew to Go Dies and Witches Brew Stamp Set

This week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme is "delicious drinks."  Do potions fall into that category?  I can't say for sure, since I've never had one, but I would think it would depend on the type of potion as well as the skills and/or intentions of the potion-maker.  Regardless, here's the card I made that features one of my favorite die and stamp sets of all time by Papertrey Ink: Brew to Go and Witches Brew.


I started by cutting out the die elements and stamping onto them.  I added a green tint with Distress Ink, but the bolder greens and blacks are paint.  I also heat-embossed some white cobwebs onto the cup using Tim Holtz's Trick or Treat stamp set.


I went to work on the background.  I used a circle punch to pop some holes out of Strathmore Mixed Media paper and painted that for a textural kind of element.  Then I painted the background rectangle for my card.  I used Scribble Sticks for the doodled circle lines.


I tore up the punched-out part and glued that to the background.  I added on some strips of Dina Wakley ledger paper to the top part of the card for some subtle variation.  I splattered Dina Wakley's gloss spray onto the card and onto the top of my potion, then glued my potion drink to the front.  I outlined the edges in black paint and this card was done.


Here are the supplies I used that you can find at Simon Says Stamp:
