Hi, I've been saving up the empty bottles from my favourite perfume.
I love the shape and thought it'd be perfect as a small vase. I coloured it with alcohol inks and blending solution.
I then had to make some flowers and greenery to match!
I'm linking up to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge where the theme is anything goes.
I die cut my tattered flowers from watercolour paper and coloured them with distress inks.
The leaves are cut from scraps and snippets of green cardstock with a couple of Memory Box dies.
So I'm visiting the playground at Pixie's Crafty Workshop.
Enjoy the rest of your week, thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

What an absolutely original idea for our "Anything Goes" challenge! It was so refreshing to see such a unique and lovely creation. I have to commend your alcohol ink skills- those colors were stunning and blended so beautifully! And then you took it to a whole other level by adding flowers! They are stunning and I love how you saw the potential in an empty perfume bottle. It's a wonderful transformation and I'm so glad you shared your talents with us here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog!
This is stunning and a great idea. Love your flowers and the vase is gorgeous. What a good recycle idea too!
