For my first project, I made a bottle tag or gift tag with watercolor and a bottle wrap.  This is a fun birthday party favor decoration for the refreshments table.  This one features the cutest dachshund dogs with a birthday theme.

Sentiment:  Happy birthday from all of us.

This could be a party favor, bottle tag, wine tag or gift tag.   I simply stamped the pups with the balloons and the sentiment onto watercolor paper using waterproof ink.  Then I used a mini slimline die to cut out a narrow rectangle for the bottle tag.  Also for the bottle wrap, I layered and fastened two watercolor patterned paper strips over a long white piece of cardstock using extra tacky tape and craft glue.  This was wrapped around a water bottle as part of a party favor.  But, the tag can be made for any type of bottle or gift bag.

Here is another look at the bottle tag.

This is a quick video outlining the making of this bottle tag.

Now, onto my second hop project.

This is a complementing card and matching envelope set. I made a holographic birthday card using the fun margarita stamp and sentiment. Lime colors were used for watercolor and for the paper layer. The sparkly frame was made from holographic confetti paper and the ribbon is shimmery silver.

This is another look at the margarita card.

A quick video follows outlining the card making process.
