Crafty Tips:

Tip 01: Cut out all needed pieces at once to make the process faster and more efficient.
Tip 02: Use heavy weight cardstock so the cards can stand nicely on display.
Tip 03: Cut multiples of the glass and stack to make them sturdy – especially for the shaker cards

• Emboss the blue paper with the Lush Leaves 3D Embossing Folder
• Cut all the pieces using scraps you have around, I used pink glitter paper and polka dot paper for some of the elements.
• Assemble all the pieces to make the scene in the glass, use velum in the back to make the back of the glass
• Cut the sentiment square and stamp a fun sentiment and use foam tape to raise it up
• Embellish with sequins or gems for finish

• Ink blend some white cardstock to give the lush leaves a more tropical feel

• Ink blend dark blue ink onto a lighter blue paper and splatter with white ink for a starry night effect
• Ink blend to create the insides of the glasses
• Embellish with some greens from the Tropical Flair addon set

• Emboss the opposite direction to create a different look for the blended background
• Cut one glass out of an acetate sheet and place under the 1st layer of glasses
• Create the scene and sprinkle sequins before attaching the glass
