Recently we had a bottle of wine where the label totally covered the bottle. It was designed with a fabulous mixture of prints and colours and I couldn't bear to part with it, so I carefully soaked it off and, once dry, affixed it to some stouter paper with spray adhesive. I've used it for the die cuts on this card - keeping to the wine theme of course!
I used some patterned paper for the background, lightly distressed at the edges, and added a "table top" of woodgrain paper. The bottle and glass are cut from some of the wine label and lightly inked around the edges. The sentiment is from the same die set - if I recall correctly this came with Die Cutting Essentials a few years ago - and is part of a much larger cut, surrounded by vines and grapes, which I snipped away to leave just the bold word. By keeping it bold and uncluttered, although not at all CAS, I reckon it has a very masculine look and makes that wonderful label paper the star of the show.

I love how you recycled that beautiful wine bottle label! Great design using the woodgrain as a table top to place your wine bottle and glass. Thanks for recycling and playing along with us at JUGS!
What wonderful paper, you will need some more of that wine won’t you Jane. Great No Hearts or Mushy Stuff card perfect for our River of Creativity them, thank you for linking with us. x
I must show this to my Honey - he's the wine drinker and buyer in our home. I'm amazed they cover a bottle with such pretty paper, but I have not been into a store to see any in ages. He will know if that's happening here. Your card rocks! Cheers to it! xoxo
Fab creation, thanks for joining Allsorts challenge, good luck.
Happy crafting
