Message in a bottle....

Today, we are sharing a gorgeous project made by Ingvild Bolme...

She altered a glass bottle with Prima products, turning it into a stunning piece of art, with a secret message inside....

..........................................................................................................................................................

Notice the intricate details and ornate embellishments, that make this project truly unique. A treasure worth displaying anywhere in your home...

Ingvild carefully stamped the outside of the bottle, using our clear background stamp, Documentary. Then, she embossed the image, bringing out the details of the stamp. The embossing effect gives the bottle a vintage/rustic look...

The main embellishment on the front of the bottle, was created using found objects and a Prima chipboard journaling piece. We love how the teal compliments all of the warm brown hues, that surround it.

The beaded vine was carefully wrapped around the outside of the bottle and notice some of the beads were colored to match the color scheme of the project. A nice little extra added touch! You can also see the message on the inside of the bottle, with a little Vintage Trinket birdcage dangling just below.

The top of the bottle is adorned with dangling accents, including a custom tag, that invites anyone to open it. The chain embellishment is the perfect addition to the tag.
