Sending Cheer with Bottled Happiness

I really enjoyed making this card which uses the Bottled Happiness stamp set and coordinating Vintage Bottle Punch along with the Deckled Rectangles Dies for the matted layers.

Color Combo

I stamped the short wide bottle in Gray Granite ink and then placed a Post-it Note over the bottle with the edge at the top of the bottle so that I could stamp the greenery in Old Olive ink to make it look like the greenery stems were inside the bottle.  I got the various shades of green by simply inking the stamp once with Old Olive and stamping it repeatedly without re-inking the stamp.

Next I stamped the tall thin bottle in Old Olive and punched it out with the Vintage Bottle Punch and tied a piece of Linen Thread around the neck of the bottle.  The label was stamped in Gray Granite that was stamped off once before stamping it on a small scrap of Very Vanilla and fussy cut, then attached to the bottle.  To give the appearance of a curved bottle, I used a Bone Folder to curve the paper bottle vertically, then attached it to the mat with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  To “ground” the stamped images, I used a Water Painter and picked up a small amount of the Gray Granite ink and painted a shadow where the bottles rest.

Old Olive Stampin’ Blends were used to color the Pearls Basic Jewels before they were attached to the stamped layer, then the card was assembled with 3 different sizes of the Deckled Rectangles Dies and attached to a card base of Thick Very Vanilla.
