We planned a wine tour last weekend in my hometown to celebrate some birthdays so I set out to make up some wine themed cards!

 I couldn't resist this wine set from Unity Stamp Co. and decided my old roommate from Victoria would love it for her birthday card this year!

For my mother-in-law's birthday this year, I decided to create a set of cards for her with a wine theme. I wanted to keep the cards fairly simple and found some inspiration on Pinterest from Francine. I decided to use my MIL's favourite colours on each card - purple and green.

I was asked a little while ago to make some wine themed Christmas cards to sell at a local wine making shop called Kootenay Wine Works. I made some tags earlier as well that were similar to some I made this fall. I am loving this fun Christmas wine sentiment from Two Lips Stamps and used it for my cards and tags. For the card, I painted a wash of iced spruce distress oxide ink over a snowy stencil from The Greetery. I stamped the wine bottle and sentiment in archival black ink and then used my Tombow markers to create a watercolour look.




Here are the tags that I made:

I have been itching to ink up this stamp set since I got it and thought it would be perfect on a wine bottle tag! I was playing around with the spotlight effect in portrait mode on my phone and love how this turned out with the wine bottles!

For my Mom's birthday card this year I set out to make her a wine card. This Simon Says Stamp set paired with the fun wine sayings from My Favorite Things seemed to be fitting for what I envisioned. I stamped the image in a lighter Memento ink that I just got and then set to work with my Tombow markers to create a watercolour effect.
