Bottle tops ...

Helen from the Crafting Time DT sent me some bottle tops to play with.  Now I confess to never having used bottle tops nor ever having the urge to rush out and buy some ... but I do like a challenge!!

So this is what I did with them ...

 

 I used them as centres for Christmas tree decorations.  The dies are from Spellbinders Snowflake pendant 2011 , and I cut 2 of each out onto smooth cardstock.  I wanted something more robust than plain glossy photo paper, something that would stand up to being on a tree with 3 interested cats around!!

I used alcohol inks (cranberry, red pepper, water melon, gold, lettuce and bottle) and plenty of blending sollution to get the ink to blend smoothly on the card.   When they were thoroughly dry I spritzed then with some gold glimmer mist to add that bit extra sparkle.  Finally I layered them up and added the bottle caps and some gold trim to hang them with.
