When I saw the sketch a few weeks ago, I first thought of using leaves for the "Any Shape" elements, but when I was looking through my dies, I found these soda pop dies and thought they'd be perfect.
I die-cut the bottles then sponged some Squeezed Lemonade and Twisted Citron ink onto the bottles, fading out towards the top. I stamped and adhered the labels and the sentiment panel. The card base was lightly sponged with Peacock Feathers ink focusing in the area the bottles would be placed. I finished with a silver thread nest behind the bottles.
Thanks for visiting. Check out the fabulous creations made by the rest of the design team and I hope you can join us this week.
