I created this beer mug shape card for my daughter's father who just had a birthday. I originally wanted to make the beer part of this card a dark beer but I wasn't happy with any of the color choices of cardstock I had. I did have this fabulous Gold cardstock from Recollections, so I went with that. I used a very pale grey cardstock for the mug and a vanilla cardstock for the beer foam.
I used 2 appropriate clear stamp sentiments inside and of course we all signed it. My youngest daughter just entered Kindergarten and is learning to write her name, I think she did very well. (SEE INSIDE CARD PHOTO)
I decided to do the back side of the card too...I thought it would give it a more realistic look. (SEE THE BACK SIDE PHOTO) Oh and the other thing I did to the original image was use the flip feature on my Cricut Expression because he's left handed.
Just to give the card a little dimension I used an embossing folder on the beer foam and added adhesive foam mounts to the back. (SEE THE LAYERS PHOTO)
