This is a wine bottle that I wrapped in tissue paper. I first stamped the gold tissue with Fancy Flourishes and then created the pom-pom top by wrapping a cord around the neck of the bottle and then cutting the top into strips. I then created a tag by embossing the scrolly-circle from Round & Round onto my Label 8 die cut. The sentiment "For a Gracious Hostess" is from Mega Mixed Messages. I like the scrolly "H" in this sentiment and that's why I chose it. I thought it matched the style of the entire project. I don't usually give hostess gifts because whenever there's a get together we usually do it potluck style. :o)
My daughter and I went to Koolina beach this morning and I just had to share this picture with you guys. It was a beautiful day here in the islands. :o)

I am loving your idea! I live in wine country here in the Okanagan and am always looking for ideas on gifting a bottle! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great gift idea, I have been eyeing the flourishes set, it looks fab on the tissue. And *sigh* I don't know if I'll ever see that beach in person but it sure is pretty.

What a fun idea, Nadine! That paper looks so special with all the flourishes! Can I come to the beach with you too??!!
ReplyDeleteI love it! It looks completely store bought! Fabulous job :) (and I'm so jealous of that beach picture as it's been raining off and on here for the past 3 days!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! I love what you did with this challenge. That is one special gift for sure. Thank you for sharing the picture of the beach. We have snow on the ground and it just warmed my morning up!

ReplyDeleteOh Nadine, that is so pretty! What an excellent gift idea! Love it! Glad you got it finished in time!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous way to meet the challenge. Love the whole concept and the tag is beautiful. It complements the wrapping so well. This is a great gift!! (And by the way, I stamp in my bathroom because it's near my supplies and I lack space anywhere else. Best counter top in the house!!)
ReplyDeleteStunning Nadine, this will make an awesome gift!!
