For this months challenge I altered a wine bottle from next door neighbours trash lol and turned it into a wedding present. I don't drink due to all the medication I am on so rescuing bottles is my only option lol.
To start with I painted gesso as the base and then chalk paint over the top. I decoupaged a rose paper napkin randomly. I blended the edge of the roses by dry brushing the chalk paint round the edges. I sanded the entire bottle to one smoth it out and to age it. I then varnished the entire bottle and stuck one of my photos over the bottle front. My favourite one of the married couple. Gorgeous image. I then varnished over the top, added my favourite trim, a few roses and a handmade bow. All finished and ready for this months challenge.....sorry for overload of pics which I took in my garden....
