Waltzingmouse Day 1 - Sneak Peek: Balm of Friendship

Welcome to the first day of the Design Team Sneak Peeks for the Waltzingmouse July release! Claire has created 6 new sets for us this month - and just wait until you see them!!!

Today I am using stamps from two of the new sets - Rescue Remedies and Victorian Fripperie (don't you just love that name!?!)

I started out with this pump bottle of body lotion that I picked up at a discount store - notice it's colorful modern label!

Using stamps from Rescue Remedies and Victorian Fripperie I transformed this modern day bottle into a vintage style gift that any lady would love to have sitting on her bureau or bedside table!This wonderful vintage label (from Rescue Remedies) is designed to look like an old medicine bottle label - There are 5 labels in this fun set! AND they fit in the Labels Four Nestabilities - whoo hoo!!
I stamped a panel of the Victorian Fripperie background stamp to wrap around the bottle. I added a pretty lace ribbon along the top edge. Everything is sponged in Ranger Tea Die Ink. Most of the edges have been distressed.

I found a great tutorial for these vintage look flowers - each flower is made from a piece of card stock cut with a flower die that you crease and fold and crumple until the layers start separating. Then you fold up each petal till you like how it looks and add a brad to the center. Easy peasy and they look so wonderful don't they?!

Now you really need to check out what new stamps Claire and these other DT members are spotlighting today! Please stop by tomorrow and I'll have another sneak peek for you!
