Hello, hello!
Today I am inspired by this greeting card that I saw at a store:
It's a message in a bottle...TADA!
The bottle is made from acetate (stiff plastic) and is filled with tiny strips of paper printed with "thank you." Isn't it cute?
Here are a few versions I made:
My bottle is made of parchment paper that I rescued from some food packaging. First, I cut out two identical bottle shapes. On one sheet, I glued on the words magic (made with rubber stamps and an ink pad), confetti hearts, glitter confetti, and a cork shape (cut out from brown paper). I sandwiched this with the second bottle shape, using white glue to keep it in place.
The bottle is attached on blue card stock with a random coat of metallic paint. Inside the card, I wrote the message, "May your days be filled with magic!"
This second version follows the same steps as above and this time, I use affirmations like "Trust," "Inspire" and "Believe." It's a thoughtful card to give a friend who is going through some uncertainty.
And that is how I turned some paper remnants from blah to TADA!
