PS SPARKS Challenge Entry 1 - Picture Perfect

Hey Everyone,

Papersmooches are holding their weekly SPARKS challenge...and what fun! The inspirational challenge this week is based on a picture as shown below:

So I was enthusiastic to find a way to actually recreate this image...as I said it was fun and a challenge indeed!

Here's the result...

Let's get started....my base consists off white cardstock measuring 4 1/8 by 7 3/4 inch. I used a woodgrain patterned paper from Heidi Grace Day Dream paper pad which is 1/16inch smaller on either sides and is adhered directly to the base. 

I hand drew the shape of the bottles on blue and black cardstock and cut them out using scissors and a craft knife. More details of the bottles below for quick referencing:

Blue Bottle

- Measures 4 1/8 inch tall by 1 1/2 inch wide,

- I heat embossed an image from Prima using Ranger Orange Sherbet onto a acetate sheet,

- Contains blue sequins for the "shaker" part,

- Stamped the stalk image from PS Botanicals 1 using Distress ink Crushed Olive,

- The centre of the flower is stamped from PS Botanicals 2 using Distress ink Mustard Seed, and

- The petals were created using a repeated stamping technique of the image from PS Botanicals 2 set using Hero Arts Poppy chalk ink.

Black Bottle

- Measures 4 1/8 inch tall by 1 1/2 inch wide,

- I stamped an image from Kaisercrafts 75 Cents stamp set using Dew Drop Pretty Petunia onto a white cardstock, hand cut it out and adhered it to the acetate,

- Contains black sequins for the "shaker" part,

- Stamped the stalk image from PS Botanicals 1 using Distress ink Crushed Olive,

- The centre of the flower is stamped from PS Botanicals 2 using Distress ink Mustard Seed, and

- The petals were created using a repeated stamping technique of the image from PS Botanicals 2 set using Dew Drop Pretty Petunia ink.

I completely assembled the card, stamped my "thrilled for you" sentiment from PS Simply Said Stamp set using Versafine Onyx Black and lastly added some purple stitching.

I hope you liked the card! Please do leave comments and tell me what you think of my interpretation of the challenge...:)

Have an awesome week ahead and happy crafting!
