This weeks theme on the
Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge is "Bottle It!". I knew I was going to use Wendy Vecchi's "all bottled up" stamp, but I thought I'd ring the changes by stamping it onto shrink plastic to make small embellishments. Before I started, I had a vision in my head of them suspended from twisted wire with beads in it, so the end result is pretty much what I had envisaged. I had thought at first that I might make a card, but in the end I decided to decorate this mini-journal :)
