Halloween Potion Bottles

Hello crafty friends, it’s June here! My favorite time of the year has arrived… Can you guess what it is? Correct, it’s Halloween! Well, not yet technically, but in my head, Halloween starts the moment spooky card supplies start getting released. So let’s just say it’s Halloween already!

I just about screamed when I saw that the new release included Potion Bottle Shakers. The shakers are always some of my favorite dies in each release, and now there are potion bottles? Yes please! These are gonna be so much fun to play around with! 

I cut out the bottles from white, the corks from tan and the labels from light blue cardstock. I added some subtle ink blending and gel pen details. For the inside of the bottles, I picked 3 cardstocks that I thought looked good together. I used a darker shade ink of each color to stamp flowers inside the bottles. I used stamps from Friend Greetings and Simple Thanks for this. I didn’t actually turn my bottles into shakers this time around because I didn’t want the shaker bits to cover up the floral I had stamped.

As a fun detail, I cut out the bat wings from the Halloween Bucket Additions to add them to the middle bottle. I love how it fills up some of the empty space on the top of my card. 

I stamped a couple of sentiments from the Halloween Greetings in brown ink to go on each label. I really like how they don’t fit inside the labels, it adds a lot of interest I think.

For the background, I layered some brown inks on top of kraft cardstock that I cut out using the largest of the Stitched Torn Rectangles. I used the Crackle Background Stencil to do so. I also splattered some white acrylic ink on top for some extra detail.

And that’s it for today! I’m absolutely obsessed with these potion bottles and I think you’ll be seeing more of them pretty soon because the options are endless! I hope to see you again soon, bye for now.
