More inspiration for bottles at Countryview crafts

Hello there! I hope you are well and happy! I'm here today with more inspiration for you for the challenge over at countryviewchallenges. The theme for january is to be inspired by Bottles. There's still a week to enter - go on - have a go!

My piece today is an 8x8 canvas board.


I started the background using distress paints including reds and oranges mostly - I cracked open my new candied-apple for this one! Whilst the background dried I created the card that the butterflies were stamped onto. This was done mostly with distress stains in green shades.


I stamped the -perspective butterfly from Tim Holtz onto this card and then fussy cut.


The apothecary-vials are my take on bottles for this piece - I thought they made cute bodies!
The rest of the background was completed using a small vine stamp and also a Tim Holtz sentiment stamp also from the perspective set.

I hope you can join us at Countryview challenges!

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
