GLASS BOTTLES for AJJ and a thank you x

Hello :)

It's the last day of May already and this means it's my last post for Elegance and Grunge theme at AJJ :( so first I'd like to begin by saying many thanks again to Susi for inviting me to be the guest host this month - thank you xx.  

 
For my final page I created this in my journal using a mix of Neocolor 2 and 1 mainly.
I sketched the bottles on some rough paper first before tracing and copying down on to my journal page. On the top layer of the background - I placed 2 different embossing folders under my page and rubbed over top using the Neocolor 1's. The quote was printed off from pc and then coloured. I added some irridescent glitter glue around the words and on the heart and on the faux jewels by label but the sparkle isn't showing very well in the photo.

  
Lastly I'd like to say a say a huge thank you also to everyone who visited here and left lovely comments or created pages for this theme and linked up to AJJ. I had a fantastic month seeing all your wonderful blogs and ideas on the theme - you made it a great month for me... THANK YOU!


and tomorrow its a new month and a

and I can't wait to see what the new theme is
 and say hello to who ever is hosting this time.
Thanks for stopping by,
I hope you have a great day.

    Thank you to you for all that you did.

    Love Chrissie xx

  5. Lovely pages! I love how you created the backgrounds using the embossing folders, so imaginative 😀. I've had so much fun joining you and your fantastic theme over at AJJ this month. You have been such a fabulous host, thank you for all you inspirational posts, visiting my blog and all your lovely comments! Hope you are having a wonderful week too! J 😊
    p.s. the weather wasn't that good this weekend so we didn't go out on the tandem in the end. We always have fun though and with the weather improving I think a tandem ride to our local ice cream parlour is needed, any excuse ... lol! 😁. Have fun! J x

  7. Thank you for such a fun challenge Gill. I wish I had participated more, but I guess I had a good excuse with surgery. Ha-ha! Love your bottles of grunge and elegance today too. Fun way to wrap it up. Like you, I can't wait to see what June brings at AJJ. Hugs-Erika

  8. A fabulous page, I loved the two bottles, the fun labels and quote. Super colours and texture as well.
    I wish I could have joined in more this month, but did manage to sneak another for the last day.

  10. These final pages are incredible. The elegance/grunge you finished with is simply a perfect way to complete this month.

    Your Thank You touched my heart. You have been a fantastic host and a wonderful new friend who makes both incredible digital and traditional art. I'm always impressed when I see you have updated your blog. Thanks to YOU for hosting AJJ this month.

  12. Haha, two bottles getting together. I think the Grunge bottle is far more elegant than the Elegant bottle but please don't tell the Elegant Bottle I said that. Maybe they got their labels mixed up when they were getting together?
    Have a nice little rest from viewing and commenting, you deserve it! It was a super theme.
