we're better together.

a just for fun card, to celebrate the end of a long week.

I'm still trying to make my way through my small pile of uninked stamps... I just love these wplus9 images!  If you own this set (milk & cookies), how do you attach the straw?  It doesn't take much to confuse me (sigh) but I tried the following:

1. I die-cut the straw and laid it on top of the jar, but something about it looked unnatural and weird to me...
2. I stamped the straw into the milk bottle, but since the milk bottle was already die cut, I didn't have the top half sticking out.

I settled on this:

odd? or acceptable?  I stamped the straw into the milk bottle and then stamped it again onto its own die-cut.  Then, I lined it up (although the camera angle makes it look a little off, grrr....) and cut off the bottom excess.  I'm not sure how I feel about that.

But, I do love me some milky vellum.  I stamped the milk bottle onto vellum, and trimmed it just inside the black outline.  I used a white paint marker to color the back of the vellum.  (bonus: having colored the vellum, I could use glue to adhere it without it showing through!)



Happy weekend!
