Cheers!

Today, the MFT Design Team is showing off the new a la modes.  They're so cute this month!

I did a bit of traveling while I was in college (part of some study abroad programs) and it was common for people to say "cheers" on a regular basis.  It was always fun to say in English or Spanish!  When I saw this set, I thought it'd be fun to play up that memory.


I used some white ribbon to tie the big bow.  The little martini glass from the Let's Toast Die-namics was a perfect fit for the sentiment and a little bling:


I used a clear glaze pen (three coats) to get a good shine on this glass.  Here's a detail shot:


I also decided to stamp a little on the inside.  The sentiment is from the Let's Toast stamp set.  That font is fabulous!


 Here are the details about the upcoming release on April 3rd at 10 PM EST:

I love the look of the clear glaze pen! Thanks for telling us how many layers it took to get that look! Oddly enough, I never thought of using more than one application... but now I will! ;)

Megan, this is such a fun card!! I think aside from Hello and Goodbye, most people would know "cheers" in several languages ;) I LOVE this card - great colours, your colouring is fab and I love the sparkle too.
