Bottles

New Year new challenge at the Craft Barn... This year it's a dictionary challenge and the first letter we have been given is B. Coincidentally,  Paper Artsy's challenge first topic of the year is "Transparent" and Country View Crafts first challenge theme is Bottles, so without the need for imagination (my mojo is still not back to normal after the holidays) I had my theme!



For my background, a very loose "wall" was stencilled in blue Distress ink and a table top in Antique Linen. Both stencils were created with Tim Holtz Mixed Media Thinlit dies.
For the bottles, I used the stamps from Paper Artsy Hot picks 1203, 1204, 1205 with Archival ink on acetate.
I coloured my bottles with alcohol pen from the reverse and glued them on the background with glossy accents.

One last thing to finish this page... the dictionary definition.

Please tell me what  you think of this page in your comments!

    Very topical in my household today Chritine and the definition would definitely be "too many bottled in the recycling", I say no more for fear of recriminations !!

    Great idea to create your own masks and they give a nice subtle background.

      I took the first photo absolutely straight on so there are no reflection off the shiny acetate. On the second, the top reflects the light from the window and the bottom reflects a shadow, probably my arms and camera.

    Hello! When I saw the photo I thought it was a photo of real bottles and the next photo would be them painted or something, so you can imagine how massively impressed I was when you said they had been stamped! They look totally amazing and you have done a fabulous job! Cxxx

    Fab bottles, great idea to stamp on acetate and then colour them in, the acetate creates that mottled look which gives the impression of real glass bottles. Lovely background too x

    It was great to see you back at Craft Barn, and was grateful for your lovely comment. I was super impressed with your beautiful card, and totally loved the fact you have a die cutter (so jealous_grin) that you used to create this transparency. It is ingenious.
