Yesterday was the 97th birthday of my lovely father-in-law and this is the card I made him using the half full stamp set. He loves a glass or two of red wine, preferably Shiraz but anything red will do so this stamp set was perfect.
Making the Half Full card
I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅞” by 3¼”. I stamped the wine bottle in Momento Tuxedo Black ink randomly over the cardstock and added a couple of wine glasses.

Using the following Blends pens I coloured in all the images: Light & Dark Old Olive, Light & Dark Cherry Cobbler, Light & Dark Crumb Cake.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I added a ½” strip of Gold Foil Paper to the right side of the stamped piece and added it with the same glue to a Merry Merlot card base.

I stamped the sentiment in Merry Merlot onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and added a strip of Gold Foil to the top and bottom with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The sentiment piece was then added to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Unfortunately he ended up in hospital last week having collapsed at home. He had a pacemaker put in earlier this week and is now getting back on his feet and doing well.
I am really happy with this card, hope you like it.
