Altered Bottle - 613 Avenue Create

 I am so excited that I have been invited to participate at 613 Avenue Create. 

The challenge for February is Anything Goes W/Optional Twist: "Heart and Soles" - use hearts or shoes in your design.

This is my project I made for my first challenge, an altered bottle.

This is the bottle I used for my project but part way through altering the bottle I decided not to use the original top I had for the bottle.

After adding gesso to  the bottle I stenciled an image using stencil paste on. The stencil was one from my stash by Seth Apter.  I painted the bottle with copper penny metallic acrylic paint. 

I added gears, a metal flower and other findings which I painted with an  assortment of metal paints from Pentart and highlighted with gold Pentart Glamour paint.

Closer Look

I painted my bottle with black primer paste by Pentart and then added Stamperia's texture impression using Stamperia's Cream Paste. I just love their selection of texture plates.  The plate I used had 2 butterflies and a dragon fly in the pattern. I used heavy gel medium to glue the image to the bottle.  I coloured the image also with the primer. To highlight the image I used a combination of several colours of Pentart's wax paste and then dry brushed acrylic paint to highlight parts. 

To complete the project I added an embossed tag coloured with Stamperia's Cream Paste.

Anything but a Card Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers

It is an Anything but a Card Challenge this week at Craft Cardmakers. 

A friend gave me this blue bottle. I loved the design on the bottle and I decided to do an altered bottle for my project. 

 This is the bottle I started with. 

Closer look

I painted my bottle with Gesso and chalk paint, next I used Distressed Ink on the painted areas to add some depth.  I wrapped the bottle with some gold twine and lace and then added this gorgeous vintage bird, nest and eggs image from Graphic Fairy

Heart - Altered Bottle

This altered bottle is  my project as DT at Altered Eclectics this month.

This is what my bottle looked like before I altered it.

I used a combination of gesso, a couple of colours of acrylic paints and the base of the bottle .  I used Deco Arts Metallic Luster (Orange Flicker) and  Inka Gold (Green Yellow)  to give the bottle shine and to accent the leaf  and heart design on the bottle. I added some lace for texture.  The large metal heart is a belt buckle that I coloured with paint and a gold leafing pen. I glued the metal heart on to the bottle with E6000.  

This is the buckle close up.

This is the back of the bottle.  It used a couple of wooden hearts for the back of the bottle. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week. Remember to stop by Altered Eclectics to be inspired by the talented works of our design tea,
