Art Deco Shabby Chic Bottle with Liz Borer Stamps


Just a very simple make today to join in the PaperArtsy Bottles challenge and which I also thought would fit the bill for the Country View Crafts Challenge which is Shabby Chic. I recently bought my first set of Liz Borer stamps from PaperArtsy and they are such beautiful images! My friend, Elaine, had given me this Valentina empty perfume bottle to decorate. She doesn't craft and often gives me things she thinks would be useful which is very imaginative for a non-crafter:-


It was serendipity that the circular image on the plate of stamps exactly fit, so I stamped it on tissue and painted it with Fresco paints. Unfortunately though, one of the flowers obscured her eyes so I had to cut it off. For the back, I cut away the woman's image completely, and just cut out and applied some of the flowers:-
