Susanbcards: Rainbow Happy Hour!

I babysat my great niece the other day and she told me her favorite color is "Rainbow!" and it was said with such enthusiasm that I could feel the joy that a rainbow gives a little girl. But after her parents came home, I felt like I could use a cocktail. LOL. My kids are post college age, so I'm not used to all the running after a child.

I'm not much of a drinker, but somehow, this Spellbinders "Happy Hour" Collection is a new favorite. There's so much more fun in this collection, you can also decorate your cards for the holidays. You can see it HERE.

I received this "Layered Classy Glasses" BetterPress plate (there's a matching stencil available too but I didn't use it here). I paired it with the Rainbow Glimmer hot foil. That in itself is beautiful! I probably didn't need the "Olive Maritini" glass, but I cut it from some foil cardstock I had. It's old, it's from Michael's (Jewel Tone Foil pack). I don't know if it's still available.

The drink inside the glass is black cardstock sprayed with Winterberry Distress Mica Stain. In the past, the Mica Stains were only available as sets of 3. You can now buy individual bottles! I have it linked below.

After I foiled the Classy Glasses, I had a small area unused so I foiled the sentiment. It's from the same collection, "Cheers Sentiments" it's also a BetterPress plate. I really like using the BetterPress plates to Glimmer hot foil. They come out perfect.

That's it, fairly simple but oh-so-pretty.

Here's a photo of the reverse foiling I did on white paper. There's a few spots that the foil didn't adhere but overall it's pretty good, I'll use it on another card.
