Cheers!! Max in the Martini

When I saw the sketch at CCEE Stampers this week, I thought it was fun. The fact that the twist was it had to be a beverage also...I had just the stamp!! I bought this stamp almost a year ago, and it hasn't seen ink! I added Crystal Effects to make the glass look like glass, and I was also able to use this lovely little metal sticker from Joanns that was picked up almost 2 years ago. See, everything can be used at some time! Finally, the designer paper is from the Sweet Pea pack by Stampin' Up, and it reminded me of olives and bubbles, so I HAD to use it!
