I have been waiting all summer for a challenge to come up where I could use these 'cool dude' sunglasses. I cut them out of the cups my Starbucks Venti Matcha Iced Green Tea Lattes have been served in this summer! There were four frame styles on each cup - and I immediately thought "I can use these on a card someday!!!"
and today's the day!! Here's my card. I adhered the sunglasses to the barn board patterned paper with foam dots. The stamps are from Free Spirit Sentiments by Waltzingmouse. I layered the patterned paper to a slightly larger piece of mirrored gold card stock.
and here's the challenge inspiration I'm linking my card to:
Curtain Call - Shades
Curtain Call - Shades
You can see - I went pretty literal with my card design!
It was so nice of Starbucks to have the glasses on their cups in the perfect size for our cards, don't you think??!!
Paper: Rustic Cream - PTI, Mirror Gold - Joann's, DP - Country Batique/Fancy Pants Designs
Ink: True Black - PTI
Accessories: sunglasses from Starbucks cold drink cup, foam dots.
