I just stamped several of the bottle cap images and a cut the out with a circle punch. Then I layered purple and black circles behind the images. I layered some paper for the background. I loved the sparkly green and thought the circle would pop off that bright green. Also, you can't really tell in the picture, but I adhered 3 of the bottle cap images to the card with foam tape so it had more dimension in person Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check back tomorrow for Day 6!

Finally, inked the edges. To make the circles I die cut two sizes of Sizzix circles in Halloween Papers from An Eerie Tale. To make the letters I painted them with black Gesso (they were zebra striped, I found them on clearance at Hobby Lobby) and then I covered them with Sparkle Mod Podge.
