It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. Aren’t these nice bright colors for our challenge today? I’m really going to miss the Just Jade color!

BOTTLED HAPPINESS
Several demos who attended Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage this month received this Bottled Happiness Stamp set as part of their registration fee! It is also on the Demo Preorder list for the new Annual Catalog, which is how I grabbed it! I love that wine bottle…and Just Jade makes the bottle so realistic looking! And bonus…it has a coordinating punch! This bundle will be available for customers to order beginning May 3!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Just Jade cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 piece of retiring Just Jade In Color Designer Paper was added on front.
- Two 3/4 x 4 pieces of Calypso Coral cardstock were added on top.
- A Scallop Contour Rectangle was cut from Basic White cardstock with the die and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The bottle was stamped with Just Jade Ink on Basic White cardstock and the outline bottle with Memento Black Ink. It was punched with the Vintage Bottle Punch.
- The label was stamped off with Pear Pizzazz Ink and the greeting added with Memento Black Ink. It was hand-cut and added to the bottle.
- The bouquet of flowers was stamped with Calypso Coral Ink and the leaves with Pear Pizzazz Ink on Basic White cardstock, then hand-cut.
- The bottle and flowers were added to the rectangle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two Iridescent Rhinestones were added to the background for a little bling!

So happy with how this turned out! It’s a color combination I probably wouldn’t have thought to put together myself! OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
