When I was trying to decide on a tamp set for this challenge, I stopped on the Cheers to You set. Hmmm, how about some mango margaritas? I stamped the image in black then stamped another embossed with Tangerine Tango Embossing Powder. I cut out the "drink" portion and glued it on. The little limes were dressed up with some Dazzling Details glitter glue and popped up for dimension. The sentiment is also heat embossed and I added some bling...because I just felt like it needed it. There are very few things that do NOT benefit from bling, in my opinion. :)
I hope you will come check out this weeks challenge at Dynamic Duos. The challenge is open through Noon on October 11th. Also, please stop by and say hello to the lovely ladies on the Design Team.

Before I go, I wanted to share a photo of someone special. This is Oscar. He is currently shacking up with us until he is able to find his forever home. We saved this guy from euthanasia at the city shelter (where he was brought in as a stray) and are fostering him to give him a shot at a happy life. Unfortunately, black dogs are not usually the first to be adopted at ANY shelter and I'm pretty sure this guy has never spent much time in a loving home in his year of life. He deserves better and he is getting a lot of love with us, that is for sure. Look at that sweet face...even with his "cone hat", which comes off in a couple of days!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card, great margaritas LOL! As for the doggie, I do hope he finds a fabulous permanent home!!!
ReplyDeleteBless you for taking in Oscar and showing him some love. I hope he finds a nice home. I love the pics of your other "Fur Babies", too. I also have a rescued "Fur Baby", my kitty named Oreo. Oh, and your card! Love your three Cheers! A mango margarita sounds awesome. Great colors and a great layout.
ReplyDeletePretty pretty Anne Marie, love the dressed up limes! Sweet little Oscar, hope someone special gives him a new home, he's cute!
ReplyDeleteYour post made my day. You combined my two favorite things...rescued dogs and stamping. I am in Rhode Island and have a rescued (black) dog from the Houston, TX area. He is the sweetest boy ever! Thank you for fostering Oscar...you've saved his life!!! Fingers and paws crossed that he finds a forever home soon. Oh, and great card...definitely "borrowing" the layout.
ReplyDeleteAM fabulous card...but it was Oscar that won my heart. Thank you for saving his life. I so hope that you can find him a forever home where he will get the love that he deserves. Bless you for all that you do

ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! Gosh, I sure have a soft spot for pups ;). I also keep coming here and not saying how much I love your header! LOVE it to pieces, and it's so trendy, too! Now, how about that card? Way cute! Really lovin' the repeated pattern with the little touch of glitter on your limes, and the background embossing is fantastic! Such great texture! Have a blessed weekend, Anne Marie!
