OK, we have a really fun challenge for you today over at PaperCraft Planet -- it's an inspiration challenge, sponsored by Bombshell Stamps. To play along, simply pick something that you think is "the bomb" and make something!
Post your project in the Paper Craft Planet photo gallery, and use the tag "PCPBOMB". (Here is a tutorial on adding pictures to the gallery, if you need it.) Shannon, at Bombshell Stamps has generously offered TWO stamps sets as a prize -- Pinstriping and Speed Shop.
My inspiration was a wine bottle that has been sitting on our counter for a LONG time.
I used the Man's Ruin stamp set for my project. This is such a different style for me, but it was a great way to stretch myself and use something I normally would never have thought to. And as I was creating this project, I realized that I have a lot of friends that would love this kind of art! (*thinks of ideas for gift projects to give my friends*)
I created a tag to hand off the neck of the wine bottle.
I stamped the main image and the words on a piece of white cardstock and colored it in with my Copic Markers. I went around the outside of the image with the Cool Shadow marker to add some depth to it.
I added some glitter to the bubbles, the rim of the martini glass and teeth on the skull.
I mounted my tag onto a piece of Real Red cardstock and then onto Basic Black. I used a 1/4 inch hole punch to put a hole in the corner, then ran a red gingham ribbon through as a slip knot and tied it onto the bottle. So incredibly easy, but a fun way to present a gift bottle of wine when you're invited to someone's house for dinner.
Here is what the rest of the Super Novas came up with:
Now, it's your turn! Take the challenge and let's see what you make!
Erika, this is Fantastic!!! Awesome coloring job!

I definitely agree with you there. Well said. Thanks for sharing.
