Cheers!! by Rare Earth

The new "Say Cheers" stamps by Rare Earth are inspired by drink inspired images. There are also a set of sayings. I had the pleasure of playing with the images which range from non alcoholic to alcoholic drinks.  The stamps could be used for so many situations and are fun to work with. The stamps include drinks that can be found in a coffee shop , drinks for the summer or winter, and drink up which are spirits and a selection of bottles.
Here are the ideas I came up with...
I wanted to make the bottle look as though it wa being poured so I used three different angles. The background is one of the background stamps, embossed in white then ink added to enable the background to show up.


The champagne bottle is fun and  I love the curls which i embossed in green glitter powder.

A more homely scene with tea and cake. I used pencil crayons to colour the designs and cut them out to give a bit of dimension.

I used co-ordinating colours for the cup and background and found some ribbon and button that matched.

I did not really plan this design but it just grew until there was enough alcohol for a party!

This is more of a summery design. You can imagine the drinks at a garden party on a lovely day. I write this on a rainy day in June. I believe the sunshine will come.

I really like the tower of cups with a pretzel and other goodies. 

Some more mouthwatering goodies to eat  to accompany the drinks. Again I used pencil crayons to colour them.


I think the cocktails suit a vibrant background. Again I embossed in white and used inks to highlight the designs.

I made a centre stepper card using the pile of fancy cups.



Another summery drink with orange and cherry for garnish, I could do with one now!

Anyone fancy a cup of tea and a biscuit?  I liked the angle on the cup. I think it works really well with the background.
