Sip Sip Hooray

 

Today is the day I post a card for our challenge called Unused No More!  This is a monthly challenge to be posted on the 6th with a group of friends from my No Foolin' Retreat.  Some may post on their blog and I will note those with blogs at the end of this post.  And, some might post on other social media.  Those that participate each month will send a picture in the text thread we have between us, showing our creation.  The premise is to use a stamp set, stencil die, hot foil plate or press plate that is new and has never been used.  So--Unused No More!  

My plan is to pick a different company each month to highlight and maybe even a different product than the month before.  For October, I picked an Avery Elle Stamp Set that I have not used called Sip Sip Hooray.  

For my card, I colored the stamped image with my Copic Sketch Markers.  I decided to pick a circle die from Pinkfresh Studio called Inverted Stitched Scallop Circle to layer over the image and added foam tape behind it. I thought the  card could use a bit of color, so I added a layer of Cherry Cobbler between the circle layer and the card base.  The sentiment is from the same set and I used an older Stampin' Up punch with it.  I added some Black Rhinestones from Taylored Expressions Bits & Pieces around the image.

 

I am not sure who will post each month on their blog, but this is a list of the other ladies who do have blogs.  Links to the blogs of Jeanette, Terry, and Darlene.  Be sure to come back on November 6th to see another fun card from a set Unused No More.
