Pretty in Shades of Teal - Altered Bottle

It's challenge time over at the Stampotique Designers Challenge Blog, Maria is your challenge hostess and she's challenging you to use your Stampotique images to alter a bottle.  When I first saw this challenge, I have to admit, I had no clue as to what to create, so I left it until the last minute.  I'm the kinda gal who works better under pressure!

I have to say, I'm really thrilled how this turned out.  I actually did a lot of recycling of odds and ends in my embellishment drawer, adding some bits and pieces of Jewelry and Tim Holtz Idea-ology pieces.  To further embellish, I added some Zva Creative Pearls, flowers dipped in UTEE, Tulle, Dyed Seam Binding that left my hands colored for a few days, a Door Knob and the sweet image of Midge from Stampotique.  Put that all together with an old glass bottle I had sitting on my hutch and you get this lovely piece!



Details:
Stamps - Stampotique
Ink - Ranger Black Archival, Ranger Distress Ink Gathered Twigs
Card Stock - Vanilla
Other - Seam Binding, Misc. pieces from Tim Holtz Idea-ology Lines, Zva Creative Flourish, Flowers, UTEE, Melt Pot, Non Stick Craft Sheet, Glimmer Mist, Bottle, Glue Dots, Door Knob, Multi Purpose Glue, Tulle
