Be Inspired by bottles

Hello there! And a very Happy New Year to you! I hope that 2016 is a fine, healthy and Happy one for you. I also hope that as you read this post you are not feeling too delicate ... as I bring to you the theme of this months challenge at Countryview Crafts - this month we're asking for you to be Inspired by Bottles!!!!

For my first post I am taking things quite literally using diecut bottles from Tim Holtz that you can find here.


I started by cutting the bottles then painting them with translucent blue glass paint from paperartsy. When dry I covered the bottles in glossy accents.


I added the bottle tops and labels then added all to the background - this paper is from an old set of TH papers that I have altered using distress ink and tim-holtz-layering-stencil---shatter.


I hope you will be able to join us and play along with this great challenge - there's a £20 voucher to spend at Countryview Crafts up for grabs and thats got to be worth a try!!! See full details and work from my fabulous teamies here.

Big hugs
