Today I would like to share with you my artwork which features Close to My Heart’s April Stamp of the Month – Message in a Bottle.

This SOTM is one of my favourite – so pretty and so many different ways to use it.

I started by stamping images and trying different techniques with each one

This one I simply stamped in intense black, added a sentiment and used the quickie glue pen to add the stars to finish it off.

I heat embossed in silver this beautiful bottle and then coloured in the stars using my triblend markers.

This cute heart was stamped including one of the sentiments, coloured in using my triblend markers and just 3 of my favourite silver star confetti in the corner.

This is how I add the silver stars – using my quickie glue and the amazing CTMH pick up tool!

This is the pretty card I made out of all my creative fun. It is a box pop card that I learned to make at a consultant workshop from the talented Janette Skouffis.

I also love how the CTMH artist has used the stamp set on this cute page. There are so many creative ways to use this stamp set.

If you do not have a consultant, please contact me or place an order here.
