Valentine in a Bottle

I’ve heard of using empty beverage containers as fun ways to mail something and thought this would be a fun way to send a Valentine to someone very special in my life. I think this would be so much fun to receive in my mailbox and am sure she'll be thrilled.

Color Inspiration ~ 365 Cards Day 345 ~ Ad Inspired

The colors, hearts and LOTS of pieces inspired my bottle filled with love.

Inspiration

LOVE/VALENTINES: Everybody Art Challenge #78 ~ Valentine; Jacksonbelle Embellishments Tuesday Challenge ~ Love is in the Air; Simon Says Challenge ~ What’s Love Got To Do With It; Cute Card Thursday #99 ~ In the Name of Love

Creative Inspirations #47 ~ Anyone for Leftovers? (Use scraps - all the 'fillings' in my bottle were punched from scraps.)

365 Cards Day 311 ~ Find a Substitute (Substitute a word with an image; my secret message has a heart for the word love.)

My Creation

Here's the rolled up secret message tucked in the bottle.

And a close up of the pile of punched love to cushion the note.
