This is for the Clean and Simple Challenge this week. An inspiration challenge...this fabulous puzzle called Summer Gold. FOr this one-layer card, I used a rectangle acrylic block (no stamp at all here) and inked it directly on a distress ink pad. Made a cool, manly card (even though I felt the need to add some bling on it!)...

Recipe:

Paper- Papertrey Ink Stampers Select White

Stamp- Papertrey ink Inside and Out Birthday

Ink- Ranger Distress inks, Versafine Black Onyx

Accessories- square rhinestones

You can see the full challenge HERE on SCS...

Have a great week!

...more for HP Weekend

Go Hermoine! Chug that Butter Beer! Too bad it is non-alchohlic! But we are looking forward to trying some this weekend. But in the meantime, I may just make some as a treat to get us excited on Friday night! Here is the recipe I found on Pinterest via ThePastryAffair.com

Butterbeer
Adapted from Huffington Post

Yields 4 servings

1 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup heavy cream, divided
Four 12-ounce bottles cream soda, chilled

In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar with 2 tablespoons water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until the mixture reaches 240 degrees F (115 degrees C) on a candy thermometer, stirring occasionally. If you don't have a candy thermometer, bring to a gentle boil and turn off the heat after about a minute of cooking.

Turn off the heat and add the butter, salt, vinegar, and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Stir until smooth. Cool mixture to room temperature before using.

In a medium bowl, beat together the remaining cream (1/2 cup) with 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar syrup.

In each glass, mix together 1/4 cup brown sugar syrup with 1/4 cup cream soda. Pour in the rest of the cream soda until it is nearly to the brim of the glass. Top with whipped cream.

Serve immediately!
