Mixed Drinks Swap Card

I searched my computer and realized that I had never blogged about this card I created for a Masculine Swap.  This card uses the Mixed Drinks stamp set and utilizes a technique called Mirror Image.  I tried various methods to do this technique.  I searched YouTube for different videos and I was not completely happy with any of them!  Still I perservered and finally made mine by stamping on a clear block and then turning that clear block onto cardstock.  It still wasn't a totally clear image so I had to use a fine-tip Sharpie to fill in the edges and lines that didn't appear in the new image.

                                                             

I did not put a specific occasion sentiment on the front so that it could be used for whatever occasion was needed.  On the inside you could then put "Happy Birthday", "Happy Father's Day", "Congratulations", "Happy Retirement" or whatever.  You can't really tell from the photo but I used Wink of Stella on the beer foam to give it some sparkle.
