Craft Stamper Make It,Take It Challenge - Bottles

This month's challenge at Craft Stamper Make It, Take It is all about bottles.  Altered bottles, wine bottle tags, cards with bottle image stamps, bottle wraps, whatever you can think of, as long as your project relates to bottles and includes stamping.

Several years ago there was a little craze for altering small bottles (these ones are about 2 inches high) and I have some left over, but they are in a safe place.  Very safe.  I've no idea where.  So I borrowed some from my friend Elsa until I find my stash.  You need to prep your bottle by washing it in washing up liquid and removing all trace of any sticky labels, then rinse and dry it thoroughly.

I sponged on Jaquard Lumiere metallic paints, starting with Olive at the bottom then Pearl Blue, then Opal White around the top.  It dries really quickly.  Then I smeared some Indigo Blu Flitter Glu around the bottom of the bottle then stuck some Stampendous Shabby White Embossing Enamel and heated it to set.

The butterfly stamps and dies are Clearly Besotted Butterfly Wishes and the butterfly word is from STAMPlorations MOM Subway Art Builders - Unconditional Love.  I wrapped some blue wire around the neck to finish off.

Pop on over to the Craft Stamper blog challenge and take a look at what the rest of the Design Team have made, and join in to win!

I had the pleasure of meeting up with some of my Make It, Take It teamies at Port Sunlight on Saturday:

Linda, me, Nikki, Elizabeth

I was very restrained.  I didn't get anything on my list, but didn't go home empty-handed either :)

I'll be back next Friday with a card featuring bottle images.
