I've been trying to get here since yesterday, but somehow did not manage to. I hope to stay up & get this done tonight. Well, although craft supplies are not available here, I’m thankful that at least there’s thrash for me to craft with. lol. Being a family of chocolate lovers, my in-laws always get us a variety of chocolates whenever they visit from Canada or the UK. The first thing I do is, examine the box, tray & wrappers for any possibilities to re-use them and accordingly instruct the rest to save them for me. The same was the case with the chocolate wrappers used in this card I made for my BIL whose b’day was yesterday.
The recycled elements used in this card are the Anthon Berg liqueur chocolate wrapper for the bottle and thick plastic from the backing of a clear stamp for the glass. Both were slightly curved for a 3D effect and adhered using foam tape and glue drops respectively; to a background roughly stamped with Gina K-Live life loud stamp set. Bronze colored glitter was stuck on the inner side of the glass to depict the sparkling drink. The paper on either side is Cosmo Cricket, cut with scallop edged scissors. The sentiments on it were stamped with Crafter’s Companion-Humphrey’s B’day Girl; then written over with metallic bronze prismacolor pencil. The main sentiment is an SRM sticker on a punched tag using McGill word tag punch. Most of the supplies used for this card is from my RAK goodies. I find making cards for men very challenging. But, I quite enjoyed making this card and am pleased as to how it turned out. I hope you’ll like it too.
Here's a side view of the card
