Bottle Topper




I just love this bottle topper using Tsunami Rose's


I used Tim Holtz's Antiqued Bronze and 
Spun Sugar Distress Stains from Ranger Ink
to get just the "right" colors (and I love the metallic effect it gives my project).


I initially stamped a "Thank You" sentiment on this project,
 but after some thought, realized it
  needed
to be in French to go with the
 Parisian theme of the papers and embellishments. 


 Back to my Word documents....  after printing it
 I used an embossing pen to "trace" the word and added
 Recollections Opaque Ebony Powder.


A little more distressing and coloring to the edges prior to assembling. 
 The Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink is probably my #1 pad that I use.  
The effect on ANY color cardstock is amazing!
