Altered Wine Bottle

Good Morning Crafters
 
Today we have an altered art project for you by Gill.
 
Products used you can find on the Personal Impressions website.
 
Personal Impressions website has a stockist locator which enables you to find a stockist near you.
 
To create this project you will need the following

 
 

 
A clean empty wine bottle
White Gesso
Tim Holtz Tissue Wrap
Ranger Distress Spray Stain - Hickory Smoke
Inca stamp -Swallowtail Butterfly
Black acrylic paint
Black Memento ink
Sweet Dixie Die - Stylised Daisy
Scrap card in white, black and grey.
PVA Glue
Crystal Sticker gems
Step 1
 
 
Cover the bottle in two coats of white Gesso
When dry cover in PVA glue and roughly stick the tissue paper covering the whole bottle apart from the neck.
Ensure you have plenty of texture to the tissue paper.
Lightly spray the distressing ink for a little more texture.
Paint the neck and lid in black acrylic paint
Step 2
 
While the bottle is drying dies cut your flowers and leaves and make up
Stamp the butterfly twice and cut around the image
Add little black gems to the middle of the flowers
Step 3
 
Once everything is completely dry (I left mine over night) arrange the flowers, leaves and butterflies on the bottle
 
I loved making this and think it is my new favourite art. It will make a lovely unusual gift and can be used as an ornament or pop a candle in for a  romantic table centre
 
Thank you for visiting today!
