Bottled Happiness Shaker Card

Finally!  I am getting to play with the Bottled Happiness stamp set.  I have had it for a while but I have had so many other stamp sets jump in front of this one.  But, it works out perfectly because I love it for fall!  When I chose this set I thought I needed to used "glass colors" like bottle green and cobalt blue.  But 70's kitchen colors work well here all!  You tell me but I think the square from the "Watercolor Shapes" looks like mosaic squares!  I put glitter in the shaker but sand would be a great option also.  All instructions are listed below along with some photos for the background.  

Close up of Shaker Bottle

Inside of card.  I stamped the small bottle and I used the punch out from the Shaker on the card front.  Dang it, that bottle is cute!

A few tips on the background.  The "Watercolor Shapes do not need you to spritz them to get the watercolor appearance.  The stamps are textured to give a watercolor appearance on their own.  The "hollow spot" is bumpy and will not take ink in a solid fashion so don't keep trying....ask me, I know.  Also, start with lightest color first and begin with stamping off on a paper first.  You can control the shades of ink and get different shades as shown above. 
Turn the stamp to shift the location of the hollow spot.  Begin off the cardstock so that your patterned will appear to continue beyond the page, but if you stamp again without reinking you will get a line of different shades of ink.  This is such a fun background to make.  Directions are listed below.

Create the background on the background piece by following the photos.  Position the bottle punch to punch out shaker opening from the top and considering placement for message.  I punched the bottle 3 inches from left and 1/4 inch from the bottom.  Lay the bottle dome on a flat surface and add some glitter into the concave space.  Remove the adhesive strip from the bottle dome and place the 

3 1/4 x 2  white cardstock over the bottle dome to seal the glitter inside.  Be sure to press all the area of the adhesive strip.  If you are using ribbon or twine, cut a piece 1 1/4 inch and lay across the neck of the bottle securing at each side.  Tie the rest with a knot in the middle and hot glue the knot onto the top of the ribbon on the neck of the bottle.   Adhere the bottle dome to the punched out area being sure to keep the knot tied ribbon out from behind the background paper.  Adhere the background paper to the Evergreen Cardstock and then to the Cajun Craze Card Base off setting to allow for the three gold embellishments.  Stamp sentiment on white piece and adhere to small evergreen sentiment base.  Use dimensionals to lift sentiment.  Stamp and cut out wine labels for inside and out.  One the inside stamp bottle in your choice of ink.  Use the punched piece from the background you created, add wine label and use dimensionals to adhere.  

I hope you love this!
