Perfume Bottle Postcard Tutorial Part 2

Last week I shared with you Part 1 of how to create my Perfume Bottle. 

The first part of the tutorial covered up to this point, how to insert ice resin into a paper piece.  You can view the tutorial HERE

Today I will share with you how I finished up the project.

Step 1:

Prepare your embellishments by spray painting them with a white gloss paint..

The ones I used have been discontinued but a good substitute would be these

Antique Silver Leaf Flourishes

Step 2:

Print out Vintage French Ads digital collage sheet onto a clear sticker paper.

Step 3:

Cut out and place the label onto your Ice Resin Perfume Bottle.

Step 4:

Select a backing paper and trace an opening the size of the bottle onto it.

I used paper from the Lyric 6x6 Paper Pad

Step 5: 

Cover all edges with black ink.

 

Step 7:

Attach backing paper to chipboard using Rubber Cement.

 

Step 8:

By now the white paint should have almost completely dried. 

Using the same PearlEx powders I mixed into the Ice Resin,

Step 6 of the first part of this tutorial,

I dusted the swirls with the powder.

And sealed them with a high gloss spray sealer/finisher.

Step 9:

Time to add some Dresden.

I used two, a gold (I would suggest

Baroque Gold Dresden Boarders to replace the gold I used which is no longer available) and the Half-Rounded Dresden Borders in pink

Cut them to size and glue them together.

Step 10:

Add some ribbon around the neck by poking holes to weave the ribbon through. 

Finish the ribbon off with some extra fibers and a pearl, see image below.

Step 11:

Attach Dresden on the front and back of the ice resin bottle. 

Step 12: 

Add your other embellishments,

6mm Pink Metal Flowers, Butterflies from the Blossomwood Die-Cut Boarders stickers, and Antique Gold Diamond Filigree cut in half and covered with Flamingo Liquid Pearls.

 

You can stop here, but I wanted a back to write on, if you would like that too, continue on.

Step 13: 

Grab a piece of

Lightweight Chipboard Postcard and cover it with decorative paper.

My paper is from the Lyric 6x6 Paper Pad

Step 14:

Fold down a 1/4" to help the card sit like a triangle instead of with the back flush.  This will allow light in so your ice resin shows off.

Step 15:

Draw a pattern onto a template of your Ice Resin cut out. 

Step 16:

Poke holes through the chipboard to create the pattern. 

Doing this allows for a difference in light to show through the ice resin when the card is closed.

Step 17:

Sand the back of the card down smooth.

 Step 18:

Select a backing paper and attach using Rubber Cement.

I used a French inspired Post Card.

Here are your two piece separated.

 

Step 19:

Punch holes through the top, equal distance from one another, and reinforce with an eyelet. 

There are some really fun Heart Eyelets available through Alpha Stamps.

Step 20:

Weave the two pieces together with Strawberry Glaze Seam Binding.

And there you have it, 

all done!

This is what the card looks like open. 

And a view of the back, I added a Pink Rose from the Pink Roses Dresden Scraps and have room to write.

 I hope you enjoy!

Let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to seeing how you use all these wonderful products.
