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! 🙂

    Hi Jessica – pretty cards – this is a nice kit with lots of options – but my favorite is the easel and I love the add-on waffles. I don’t even drink and I also love the add-on set with the Mimosa.

    You are spot on with your textures on the chalkboard and bubbles in the glass. The stamp and die set from hero Arts offers so many different combinations and opportunities for creativity.

    My daughter went to Europe about 18months ago and I’m still yet to scrap an album for her. This kit would be absolutely perfect to do this. This kit would do justice to all of the amazing scenery of the wonderful countries that she was lucky enough to visit. Thank you for the opportunity.
