Welcome, everyone!! It’s Shari Carroll here to bring you some inspiration for a fun little project to try. I’m all about being resourceful and since recycling is my jam… I put those things together to create a frosted Starbucks bottle full of flowers and butterflies that’s pretty enough to display!

For the bottle, I’ve taped off a portion of it, then used Tim Holtz Collage Medium with Frosted Crystal embossing powder to transform it.

I’ve added some greens and flowers to the bottle, then stamped and embossed some Concord and 9th Butterflies to add to the mix. I finished it up with a bit of Mummy Cloth wrapped around the top and tied in a bow.

I’ve filmed a video of the process that you can view below. Enjoy!
