Craft Stamper Challenge - Bottles

Craft Stamper is a UK magazine which I discovered in a newsagent last year. I really love it because it is mostly about stamping and features some really interesting techniques. They have started a new challenge called Take it , Make it , so I thought I would play along.  Their current theme is 'Bottles'.Oh and I nearly forgot to say, my talented blog friend Shirley, is one of the design team - yay Shirley!!!

I have been working on this card in my head for the last 3 days! It was driving me crazy, because I really wanted to do a vintage style collage, but it wasn't coming together. Usually, I would just move on to something different, but this time it just stayed there niggling at me! So, finally I have completed a card - it's not quite as I envisaged, but at least I can get back to some watercolouring now!!!!


The bottle image is from Kaisercraft collage stamp - Perfume. I stamped it twice and fussy cut it,  coloured it with Inktense pencils and then mounted the label on the bottle with foam. The bird is from a Penny Black christmas stamp and also fussy cut.. The background paper is from Studio Calico.
