Wine Bottle Gift

I was inspired by this bottle I found on pintrist and decided to give my own version a try. I really couldn't find any buttons that I liked on top of the paper.

I used some stampin up Red Glimmer paper to dress up this wine bottle, a strip of basic black for the belt and Brushed gold for the belt buckle. The belt buckle was a Tim Holtz ornamental die and the tag is made with glimmer paper, whisper white and the stamp is from Stampin Up Greetings of the Season. Finally, years ago, I punched a bunch of left-over green paper with a holly stamp to use up my scraps. I can no longer find the holly punch but the box of all the green holly punch made with scraps is still around, so I used that and some red jewels I had laying around to put some "berries" on it.

I am really excited with the way it came out, I almost dont want to give it away.
