I'm so happy that the color <i>Lazy Day</i> is back and had to use it right away.

For a bit of texture, I splattered the whole panel with blue ink.<br /></p><p>I did some ink blending with <i>Distress Oxides</i> (Wild Honey, Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade) directly on the card base where the window and image will be. After letting it dry, I popped up the <i>Lazy Day Card Stock</i> panel with foam tape.</p><p>Next, I stamped the images in <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/products/extreme-black-hybrid-ink-pad" target="_blank">Extreme Black Hybrid Ink</a>, did some <i>Copic</i> coloring and cut everything out with the coordinating dies. Have you seen the teeny tiny ant which I stamped in <i>VersaFine Onyx Black Ink</i>?

Please visit the <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/blogs/news" target="_blank">MFT Blog</a> for another round of DT inspiration.</p><p>Today I'm sharing a CAS Friendship card made with the <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/soda-pop-die-namics" target="_blank">Soda Pop Die-namics</a>, <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/bottle-caps-die-namics" target="_blank">Bottle Cap Die-namics</a> and <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/soda-pop" target="_blank">Soda Pop</a> stamp set which comes with lots of punny sentiments.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNbeXdOYy0CdiMoBcFtIiBxzTdk77qz73nwOpesue00j6hH_9DMA_7Okzc2AxoNBcnGCFoUbtTV3NBdt3KB9SNqR6bVmt748v5miAhz-2kUtkMu9Ao03RDbBkCVMyjgd5KQg500n88osdjoIeYbSytfFF2EFRwMN-BWeYhbbmPOpfsOnHFtzqWUt62vFwC/s886/mft_dec_sodapop.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="886" data-original-width="886" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNbeXdOYy0CdiMoBcFtIiBxzTdk77qz73nwOpesue00j6hH_9DMA_7Okzc2AxoNBcnGCFoUbtTV3NBdt3KB9SNqR6bVmt748v5miAhz-2kUtkMu9Ao03RDbBkCVMyjgd5KQg500n88osdjoIeYbSytfFF2EFRwMN-BWeYhbbmPOpfsOnHFtzqWUt62vFwC/w640-h640/mft_dec_sodapop.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>I started off with a white A2 top-folding card base and cut one of the diagonal <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/products/black-white-stripes-paper-pack" target="_blank">Black & White Stripes</a> papers to the same size. I trimmed down another white cardstock panel to be a bit smaller.</p><p>Next, I die cut the bottle from white cardstock and did some ink blending with <i>Distress Oxides</i> (soda: Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry; bottle neck: Tumbled Glass, Salvaged Patina). For the bubbly look, I splattered on water droplets and dabbed them off with a paper towel. The word 'FIZZ' was stamped in Picked Raspberry onto the label die-cut and I heat embossed it in clear.</p><p>I adhered the bottle at an angle in the bottom left corner. With the help of masking, I partially stenciled some bubbles using the <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/products/heavy-snowfall-stencil" target="_blank">Heavy Snowfall Stencil</a> and Kitsch Flamingo ink. The sentiment was stamped in crisp <i>VersaFine Onyx Black Ink</i>. As a little embellishment, I die cut a bottle cap and heart (Ripe Raspberry, Sno Cone and Brushed Silver Card Stock). For some extra shine, I covered the heart with <i>NUVO Crystal Glaze</i>.</p><p><i>You can find even more ideas, product details and tutorials on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/MFTKim" target="_blank">MFT YouTube channel</a>.</i> <br /></p><p>Thank you so much for stopping by!
