Artistic Embellishments: Message in a Bottle

Hello stampers!

There are several stamp sets in the new annual catalogue that have quite a few amusing sentiments/sayings to go with the fun images. One that popped up at me was the {Message in a bottle} set on page 52. It came at the perfect time as I had just received some brand new alcohol markers to bring the images to life. I used the {Seaside Textured impressions embossing folder} to add some depth and interest to the background. I didn't want it to be too busy and distract from the cute little jars!

In one of the bottles I stamped the octopus, in another the whale and in the center I went with the mermaid. I went with the "It's your day" and "Make a splash!" sentiments. I tied a piece of Whisper white twine around the center bottle with the mermaid with one of the sentiments - I think it was just enough to finish it off nicely.
