A Cocktails Kind of Day for JAI #737

Happy Friday and welcome! Happy Waitangi Day weekend to all the New Zealanders!

Well, the kids are all back at school now and the Universities go back next week. Looks like most people are returning to the working time table. Hopefully that still means there is time for you to join in a Challenge or few!

At Just Add Ink this week ur we have this thirst quenching Inspiration Image from Kim. 

Our design team have showed all sorts of ways to use this picture in your crafting from using the colours, the theme or individual elements and we hope that inspires you to join us! 

For my card, I had to think a little bit to come up with suitable images to use.

 I don't own any current fruit stamps and neither do I have the Saleabration Fruity DSP. 
So I was just going to go with the colours. But I wanted to include the ice cubes somehow...and then I remembered I still had this retired set, Nothing Better Than that has a stamp for the ice in the glasses.

The background is water coloured using Summer Splash (the name seems so appropriate for this image)  And I flicked some Wink of Stella into the background too.

To create the two-toned look in the glasses, I sponged a little Calypso Coral and then some Melon Mambo on top before stamping the insides. The lime and umbrella both have a similar process of two ink colours sponged on top.

And lastly, a little Fine Tip Glue Pen is applied to the Cocktails word, cut from Summer Splash card stock.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope that you feel inspired to join in the challenge with us at Just Add Ink.  I really look forward to seeing what you create each week as you inspire me too!

Until next time,

Jan
