After Tim's cruise to Mexico, my bestie Paula and I stayed at a posh hotel where they served us water in this Christian Lecroix (fashion designer) designed bottle. We both fell in love with the bottle, so each purchased our own. I have been saving mine to do something crafty, but just had no pressing reason to get going on it until Simon Says Stamp & Show's challenge this week of "bottle it". I wanted to color my bottle somehow but didn't want to alter the wonderful white lace design by Mr. Lecroix, using Alcohol Ink on the outside, so my hubby gave me the idea of using Alcohol Ink on the inside of the bottle. HELLO!!! Why couldn't I think of that by myself? Talk about feeling like a dummy, but at least he got to feel important and appreciated (well...later on anyway).

| I am the worst bow maker, but this gorgeous ribbon from the Funkie Junkie herself, Linda Coughlin (check out her Zibbit shop) will make anything look wonderful! |

| I was given this gorgeous label a couple of years ago by bestie Paula and have never used it, so I thought it would look wonderful on this bottle. I think some of you Ten Second Studio metal wizards could easily make something like this. |
Supplies:
Bellemonde: Noble Initials Pewter Crest
From My Stash: water bottle
