Bubbling bottles for Leonie

Hello lovely peeps


For today's card I've used Leonie's In a Spin die in two different ways.
First I cut several of them from Sheena stamping card and glued them to an A5 piece with Cosmic Shimmer glue.


Next I dragged some Distress Oxide inks over the top


and spritzed with water.


I repeated this a few times to build up the colour, drying with a heat gun in between each layer


adding a bit of Fossilized Amber into the mix


The die-cuts were starting to lift away in places by the time I finished because of the heat so I just needed to stick them back down in a few places before trimming the excess off.


For my topper I die-cut some Apothecary Bottles - this is a Bigz Die by Tim Holtz.
I coloured these up with the Distress Oxides again, using some applicator foams and spritzing/drying between layers of colour.


For the corks I stippled on Ground Espresso distress ink with a stencil brush


I inked and distressed a rectangle of white card to layer the bottles on top of and added highlights to the bottles with a white gel pen.

For the bubbles I cut the In a Spin die from clear shrink plastic and gently heated it to shrink. There was a bit of a hairy moment when it curled over and stuck to itself but I managed to pry it apart :o)


It's finished off with a sentiment from the Hey There, Dreamer rubber stamp set

I loved this one Katrina and it's great to see how you made it. The idea of shrinking the die for the bubbles is inspired!
