Boo Bottle! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Have you checked out the new Keep it Contained challenge?

There are so many fun choices. You can make a gift card holder, a treat box or gift or goodie bag. Use a stamp or a die that's a container, like a barrel, crate, pot, vase or basket. One of our DT members used a watering can and a wheelbarrow. (super cute!) Or, you can repurpose something like I've done. I spray painted a seltzer water bottle that I liked, and decorated it to put on my mantel.


I like that it's a little bit spooky, a little bit cutesy.


I used the new 6111 – Spooktacular Set.




The web is from 5462 – Web Dies Set.
The bats are also from the Spooktacular set. I used the die and didn't
stamp them because I just wanted the "idea" of the bats in the background.
They aren't meant to stand out on my project. I bent their wings up to give
the illusion that they are flying.

The ghost has pre-scored lines on him when you die cut him.
This allows him to be popped up on a page or
used as a pop-up feature on the inside of a card.

I used a tag from 5132 – Tag Stitched Dies.

 

 
I have a small bottle collection. I just can't recycle something that I find interesting
and think I may be able to repurpose in the future. I hope I've inspired you to give
something like this a try. It's much cheaper than HomeGoods...lol!
