It’s the second of the month and that can only mean one thing — reveal day at Card Chain Challenge! There were 26 players this month, sending little bits of happy mail around the world. Mine has gone to Chris in Illinois this time.
As usual, it’s a one layer card so it’s light and flat for airmailing. I used reverse masks to blend inks inside the glasses for my cocktails and regular masks so that I could put one glass behind the other and use a stencil for the background. Not sure what the colourful cocktail on the right is but I found a picture online and used it as a guide! I used water to lift a bit of the colour from the ice cubes and a tiny bit of white pencil on the highest spots as well for highlight lines on each glass.
