I initially tried masking off the original bottle but wasn’t happy with the results and ended up stamping the bottles in Starry Sky and Sweet Sorbet ink onto scrap Basic White card and fussy cutting them out. The Sweet Sorbet bottle was cut down and added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the Starry Sky bottle added on Dimensionals.
