I know that we shouldn’t fill our flower vases with carbonated water. But I couldn’t resist putting these Effervescent Elements into this Vintage Bottle flower vase. Hahaha! So here is today’s creative inspiration in the form of an interactive mini shaker card.

Directions
- Punch one of the 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ white pieces with the Vintage Bottle Punch (inserted from the bottom). Adhere the designer paper strip across the bottom. Line up the punch and punch again to give the look of the bottle sitting on a tablecloth covered table. Stamp the leaves and flowers images above the vase.
- Place the 2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ white piece vertically behind the punched bottle – do not adhere. Put a few small dots from the marker towards the bottom center to indicate where to start drawing stems. Pull the papers apart and use a ruler or other straight-edge and draw stems that go up and narrow to about 1/8″ at about 2″ from the beginning dots. But extend the lines further as they only need to be narrow at around the 2″ spot.
- Add the Vintage Bottle Shaker Dome so it’s coming up and through the main layer. Connect the smaller white layer (with the stems) to the main white layer so the stems line up when looking into the bottle. Only adhere one side though. Now remove the back “release paper” from the shaker dome. Spoon in a bunch of Effervescent Elements. (Be careful that they don’t spill. They roll away easily!) Connect the two white layers together.
- Add this to the Coastal Cabana layer, then add all this to the front of the card.
- Stamp the inside white layer and add to the card.
- Then punch the white strip, stamp the sentiment, curl it with a Bone Folder, and attach it with Glue Dots to the card so it looks like it’s wrapping from the back of the bottle around and across the front.
