Simply Sophisticated Bottles card for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a dice roll – In Colors, Masking, Friend, Staple and Fun Fold. I have combined the Bottled Happiness stamp set from the Annual catalogue and the Softy Sophisticated stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration Brochure to make my card.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the simply sophisticated bottles card, you will need:

Sweet Sorbet card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pebbled Path card – 4⅞” by 3⅛”
Basic White card – 4¾” by 3”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – for the inside
Scrap Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis

 

I placed the front of the card base in my Paper Trimmer, lined the score line up with the cutting track and the other end lined up at, roughly 1¾”, the measurement isn’t crucial and I did it by eye.

I stamped the smaller, squat bottle in Orchid Oasis ink at the bottom of the  4¾” by 3” piece of Basic White card, roughly in the middle. I stamped the image again onto a Post It Note taking care to position it largely onto the sticky part, and cut it out with scissors. I placed it over the stamped image and stamped the taller bottle to the left in Boho Blue ink and the squat bottle to the right in Tahitian Tide ink.

Leaving the mask in position I stamped the leafy spray in Parakeet Party ink and added the flowers in Sweet Sorbet ink. I removed the mask.
