It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. It’s a fun sketch this week.

BOTTLED HAPPINESS
I have been having fun with the Bottled Happiness Bundle. This time I combined it with the Abstract Beauty Designer Paper!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Soft Succulent cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 2-1/2 x 4 piece of floral Abstract Beauty DSP was added to the bottom.
- The pink stripe pattern in Abstract Beauty DSP was cut to 2 x 4-3/4 and added over top towards the left side.
- A 3/4 x 5-1/4 strip of Crushed Curry cardstock was added over it.
- The large Layering Circle was cut from Basic White cardstock and adhered on front.
- The bottle was stamped with Crushed Curry Ink and the outline with Polished Pink Ink, punched with the Bottle Builder Punch and added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The label was stamped with Soft Succulent and greeting with Memento Black Ink. It was hand-cut and added to the bottle.
- The flower bouquet was stamped with Polished Pink and the leaves with Soft Succulent. It was hand-cut and added to the top of the bottle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some Rhinestone Jewels were added in the background for a little bling!

I’m amazed at how translucent the bottle image looks! So real! OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
