I have had this idea rattling around in my head for a while. Whenever I give anyone a bottle of wine, it always feels a little impersonal, so, how about creating a card which wraps around the bottle so it acts as both greeting and gift wrap?! Here is a version I have made using this week's Creativity Club 'Over the Hill' printables...
I created a sleeve from white card to fit around the bottle, then added the mini blue dotty paper leaving a white edge. The field paper was stuck on top centrally, cutting around the top cloud to add some shape to the top. I then stuck a selection of the birds, sentiments, trees and fences onto more white card, cut them out and attached them to the sleeve using 3D adhesive dots.
On the back, I added a decorative rectangle, covering the sleeve join,
as a place to write your message.
I also created a little sleeve to fit onto the bottle neck using the same techniques.
I wrapped the paper ribbon around a pencil to achieve the curled effect.
I hope this has given you a little inspiration. I would love to see what you think so please post a comment if you have time!
