Wine and Salad

The current Quirky Crafts Challenge is a fun one -- it's called Red Red Wine. (If you're at all familiar with 80s music, we can also thank them for the earworm. And if you're not? The video for the song is helpfully provided on their blog. :D) Red wine and I don't actually get along very well -- headaches tend to ensue -- so instead of drinking it and suffering the consequences, I made a card. 



I love that sentiment. :) And I thought it was fun use it with an otherwise minimalist and classy-looking card. Not positive I would want to look for long at that one patterned paper after a glass or two... 
Being Friday and all, I'm also linking this card Unity's Friends with Flair. Now... perhaps some white wine? ;)



Supplies: white & black card stock, Basic Grey PB&J patterned papers, Unity Alcohol & Salads & Paper Smooches Free Spirits stamps, Versafine onyx black ink, clear embossing powder

  2. That is a very funky look you have achieved with the patterned paper and distressed red. Very cool and clever.

    Thank you for the lovely card you sent; I recognise the technique from the SYS2 class. I haven't tried it yet but I now have a beautiful sample of how it's done.

  10. I agree on the paper--does drive the eyes crazy. Love the simple look...but then wine doesn't need a lot to go with it, does it? :-)
