If you saw my previous "Cheers" cards, I wrote that I really wanted the bottles to be white but the computer generated sentiment looked too flat. Then I had the idea to clear emboss the sentiment which helped immensely. Still not as good as ink would have been, but acceptable. I also tried to use Glossy Accents but the ink reacted and the white lost its clarity.
The process is the same: Stamped and embossed the label. Cut with the bottle die only this time I did all three bottles the same size. I wish the bottles were a bit bigger, but then next time I will wish they were a bit smaller. Because I'm Goldilocks and I want it all to be "just right". Dry embossed the woodgrain bg and glued everything down. The sentiment is typed in Arial font.
I photographed the new card with the previous one so you could see them side-by-side. I prefer white wine when I drink and apparently I prefer it on my cards as well. What's your favorite flavor -- white or red?
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are having a Goldlilocs day and that everything is "just right".

These turned out great, Debbie, and you have used this stamp in a totally different way tha I would ever have considered. I'm a white wine kinda gal, too, so yep - that's my fav!

Cutting the bottles from the stamped background looks super. I like both versions, a marginal preference for the white. I liked that stamp when I saw Linda use it. I was saying to her that Gewürztraminer was the "house wine" when I worked for a retired admiral and his wife. Mostly for drinking I prefer red, but a nice white is very nice.

Both are well done! Both have a great look and feel (I like the texture more of course). I like the bottle die. Love your Goldilocks comment! Hugz

What a super pair of cards! I had that background stamp in my cart and then took it out - looks like it is going back in! I would be hard put to pick a favourite card here though I do favour the reds for drinking. As long as its dry I will drink any colour of wine though. :-)
