Bring out the Gin

 Morning and my post is bring out the gin but since I got drunk on it at my 18th many moons ago I cant even stand the smell now-port is my preferred tipple-I made a card using a layout where you get two cards from two pieces of p, paper from CraftOClock   and stamp set from Visible Image- stamped, fussy cut and coloured with promarkers-pretty quick and simple. The gin bottle in the front is on 3D foam. I made another one with the same papers and stamps but that is a DT one for next month.

A great card for a gin lover,love your layout.Like you I didn't like him but recently was buying some made by a local small distillery and was persuaded to try a blackberry gin liqueur and have to confess I enjoyed it.

Your design of the card is amazing and I like your perfect coloring. I can't create such card, I haven't stamps like these.

Janette said...

I am sure a gin lover will just love this gorgeous card Carol, it looks so good.
I used to love the odd glass of red wine but now I can't even have that, honestly, getting old can be very boring :)) xx

Lynne said...

A great layout for your card Carol and wonderful for a gin drinker x

Carol L said...

This is such a fun card for those who indulge. I had a similar incident with gin when I was younger too, and now I just treat myself to a good cup of coffee instead. No after effects LOL

I went straight for the vodka in my late teens which is probably the reason I don't drink at all now. Lesson learnt the hard way lol. I do love this card, such a great layout Carol.

HilaryJane said...

This is a great card for a gin drinker. I have never been able to drink spirits, they are just too powerful, but I have been known to over do the wine! It is always good to get 2 cards for 1. I shall look forward to seeing the other one xx

Liz said...

Great card for a gin drinker. I don't even like the smell of gin either, much prefer a drop or two of white rum. Thank you for joining in the Allsorts Challenge this week.

What a fun card for someone who enjoys gin! The use of the rectangles of patterned paper in this way creates a lovely background. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to Stamps and More!

I was never fussed on gin till I tried the fruit ones, which I do enjoy now. Avril xx

EmmaT said...

Fantastic fun card, love the colours and layout. Its funny that we can't touch anything we got drunk on in our youth - mine is bicardi :-) My mum can't touch gin either...must ask if thats the reason! lol

What a fantastic card, Carol! The 3D effect on the gin bottle is a brilliant touch.

anne said...

A great card Carol, gin is my preference for a drink but to be honest I very rarely touch it, bacardi was the favourite when I was 18 x

Leslie Miller said...

I love your gin card even though I don't like the drink either. Kinda tastes like turpentine to me, ha! It's been ages since I imbibed at all, but I have to say those drinks on your card look very refreshing!

Marjeta said...
