Let's Make The Mimosa Out of This Day by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Hero Arts

I am a HUGE fan of brunch so when I saw the Gal Pal Brunch set I was smitten! 😉 To start I stamped the champagne flutes and citrus slices with versamark and heat-embossed them with silver embossing powder.  I colored them with copics and then die-cut them with the coordinating dies.  I stamped the sentiment onto black cardstock and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder.  I trimmed it down to a label and then worked on the background!

Let's Make The Mimosa Out of This Day by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Hero Arts

It’s a little tricky to see in photo but I stamped the Bursting With Love Bold Prints stamp onto a piece of white cardstock with versamark and heat-embossed it with sparkle embossing powder.  Then I trimmed it down to 4″ by 5.25″ and adhered it to a white card base.  Next I layered the glasses, citrus and sentiment and adhered them with a mix of regular adhesive and foam mounting tape.  Finally I added a little clear lacquer to the glasses and sprinkled them with Snowfall glitter!  This is such a fun set and perfect for your best girlfriends! 🙂
