The folk at "Less is More" set the week 37 challenge theme as 'cocktail' - their brief said it could be interpreted literally or by some other means i.e. a cocktail of colours.
I don't have any images of glasses with umbrellas and cherries so I went looking on t'net for ideas. I thought this image from an old drinks recipe book was perfect for the theme and would also make an idea card for a male.
The base case is smooth white CS - a sheet of A4 folded in half and inked around the edge with black.
I wanted to keep the image very simple so I only used a minimum of colour just to give a hint of a colour-washed plate. The image is cut as a separate panel that also has been inked in black around the edge. This panel was then mounted on 3D foam.
What I really liked about the image that was shown in the book was the fact that it also came with an image of the ingredients - these were also only lightly coloured. I used this panel inside the card.
This image also lists the ingredients and the quantities needed to make the drink - something a little different to send a fella................................
