My first photograph for the New Year:
Not bad when you consider I didn't have a tripod with me. The 'people shots' didn't turn out so well though, so I'm not sure what I'll do with thoses ones.
This is a little tag that I made for our New Year champagne bottle:
What I did:
I made my own template - it was just a rectangular offcut of cardstock, folded in half, with a circle cut in the middle of one half. I don't have a circle punch so I just traced around a bottle lid and cut it out with scissors. I rounded the corners using scissors, and inked the edges (Colorbox fluid chalk). I stamped the flourish image (Fancy Pants), then added some Kindy Glitz to make it shimmer (in hindsight, not a good idea, because the humidity made it all runny). I added rhinestones (Kaisercraft), alphabet stickers (AdornIt) and an oversized butterfly (which made the smudged Kindy Glitz less noticeable, LOL!)
The top reads, "Should auld acquaintance be forgot..."
