OLW93 Kitchen Inspiration Card

Heather's OLW challenge this week is to go to the kitchen for inspiration. I found this pepper shaker in my spice cabinet and immediately got inspired!




Here's my summer version of the pepper shaker, with a little glitter, of course!



All stamps are from A Day at the Beach by Papertrey. The word Summer is from the sentiment that says Summer Bash. I just inked the first word.

It took three tries to get this right. First, I tried to use Gray Flannel Memento for the sentiment. Looked weird. Second, I stamped everything too low on the card. Looked unbalanced. Third, I oopsed and got a smidge of ink on the word Bash, but I covered it up with a white gel pen. Can you tell?

For such a simple card, the execution was harder than I expected!

I added the glitter glue to spice things up. To create just a sheen of glitter on the orange drink, I painted the orange Stickles on the glass with a paintbrush.

Supplies
stamps: PTI
ink: Memento
paper: PTI
accessories: Stickles in yellow, lime, and orange

  5. Your pepper shaker is a great inspiration piece and I really like your summer card. Sometimes it is the "simplest" cards that are the hardest to nail. After I had finished my sponged dots on my card I wished I had positioned them a little higher but alas no time for remakes.

    By the way your holiday sounded so lovely; I am looking forward to more photos and news.
