1

Place the bottle stecil on the right-hand side of an A5 piece of white cardstock, creating an embossing sandwich (the same as you would to emboss a die) ad pass through your die-cutting machine.

2

Once embossed, use an embossing pen through the detail on the stencil, then clear heat-emboss the line and word 'GIN', creating a resist. Paint the bottle using Salvaged Patina ink and the heat-embossed area will remain white.

3

Replace the stencil to mask the bottle then spray two shades of Distress Oxide Ink lightly over the cardstock. Blot dry then use dark shades of ink to add shadow around the bottle. Affix to the card blank.

4

Stamp four bouquets, colouring in two complete images and the main flowers from the others. Cut out and layer together, removing the stems from one. Affix to the card front as shown.

5

Stamp a sentiment and trim around it. Smoosh into spare ink to add colour then affix to the card front using 3D foam tape.

TOP TIP
Paint a little darker watercolour arouond the embossed lines on the bottle to make the detail really stand out.
