Anyone for cocktails??

 I'm not a cocktail drinker .. .wouldn't know how to mix one ... but at August Bank Holiday I was served a Vodka Martini ... WOW .. .blew  my mind, it was gorgeous (just rather more than I could drink!!)

 This week's Less is More challenge is a theme ... cocktails!!  I stamped this set of glasses from a Papermania Christmas stamp set in my new SU stamps and matted onto co-ordinating paper.  The sentiment was the hardest part ... I wanted to stamp cheers, but the stamp was too big (typical!!) so I went with this sentiment from a Whimsy Christmas Ticket set.  Well cocktails are naughty .. but very nice!!  I deliberately stamped it at an angle!

We are off to Blackpool to the sealife centre and to see the illuminations with the girls .. .no doubt there will be fish and chips somewhere along the way!!

That's a great stamp!
Glad you enjoyed your vodka martinis, I don't think I've ever tried one of those!!!!
You're right about making sure that a sentiment suits a particular card, it's not just what it says but the size and font as well!
Great card.
Thanks so much

It's a great stamp and I love the repetition of it - just what you see when you drink too many martinis! Perfect sentiment choice too.
