I don't know anything about wine but my niece runs a catering business and she knows her way around a wine cellar. Hence, I thought this anniversary card would hold some meaning. As I'm writing this, I just had a "DAH!" moment. It is her and her husband's 5th anniversary so I could have stamped four of the smaller wine glasses with the large one representing their 5th. Oh well, it's already in the mail.
I've used the Half Full stamp set for most of the card and the Happy Anniversary is from the Number of Years stamp set. I've colored in the large wine glass using the "soon to be released" Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. I really love alcohol markers. They make it so easy to add dimension and shading to your coloring and if you get carried away, there's always the Color Lifter marker that removes ink. Yeah!
I've also tried a technique I recently saw online. The technique used a die but I thought, why couldn't you just do it with a stamp? So I did. What do you think?
Here's another version with a video to show you how to do it. Try it with a coordinating stamp and die for an even more dramatic effect.
