Japanese Cute Doll by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

 Hello friends!  Welcome to my DT post for the new challenge which is starting today on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  This is the final challenge for 2021. The theme is an easy one:  Anything Goes.  This challenge will run until January 11, 2022 because the Design Teams are taking a break until then.  I have used the beautiful "Japanese Cute Doll" image.  

This gorgeous image is coloured with Copic markers and Polychromos, as are the handmade flowers.  I had to snip the frame so that it could fit the narrow width of a slimline card.  The sentiment was cut twice and was offset for added dimension.

Thank you for stopping by.  Do not forget to stop by The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog to see all the other lovely creations by the rest of the designers.  And, why not join in the fun?  There are some wonderful prizes up for grabs.  Have a wonderful and joyous holiday.  Hugs, Lori xx

The large balloon was made by printing out the image in a larger size and added the sentiment before I fussy cut it.  I placed 3-D pop dots underneath the balloon, and finally tied some black cord on the bottom.  My flowers are handmade.   Well, that's all from me today.  Hugs, Lori xx 

Materials and Tools Used 

Top border:  Memory Box "Pristine Border" die (cut twice)

Border:         Martha Stewart "Modern Garland" punch (cut twice)

I love altering liquor bottles and this was so much fun to make.   This is a long post, so here goes:

This is the bottle before I altered it:

After removing the labels and cleaning it with rubbing alcohol, I applied a coat of gesso.  Then, I painted the entire bottle with orange acrylic paint.  I lightly sponged red acrylic paint over the orange areas.  Next, I sponged on some purple acrylic paint around the perimeters of each side.  Once they were dry, I applied a coat of matte Mod Podge over the entire bottle to seal it. 

Then, I added the image and the other die cuts around the bottle.  The image is coloured with Copics and Polychromos pencils.  I drew the background fence.  Finally, I applied Mod Podge to the image and the die cuts.  Here are more views:

The spider is raised with 3-D foam dots and I added Swarovski crystals for its eyes.

OK, now I'm done - LOL!  Until next time.  Hugs, Lori xx
