Bubbling Over ( Mama Elephant Challenge)

Hello everyone!  As crafters and stampers - when you start to experiment with your stamps, and the more you do, and come up with a design that gets you so excited, you can't wait to share it??  Well, this has happened a few times for me, but recently for the current Mama Elephant Challenge, I have had an idea brewing in my mind for a few days, and it was killing me that I had to put it off because work and other things had to take priority.  Well, I was able to get some time this evening, and finish off my idea!  I love how it turned out, and I hope that you all think that it is clever!!
Here is my card, and below is the Inspiration Photo.

I started looking at the sets I had from Mama Elephant, and the longer I looked the more of the idea was brewing.  I used 4 - yes 4 Mama Elephant stamp sets.  It all started with Lights Out.  I love the fact that they have two sizes of light bulbs - with the outer lined image, as well as the solid.  Instead of my light bulb being a light bulb...I used it as a bottle.  I stamped out the outer lined image, and I took the solid part and inked up only part of it and stamped it down to make it look like liquid inside.  From there, I wanted bubbles and a cork - so I took what looks like to me bubbles in the Love from Above set, and I took the top hat image from Honey Bunny, and used it as my "cork".  I inked up bottom half of the top hat in the same color as my "bottle" which was inked up with Blue Sky Memento Ink, and the other half in Cup O' Joe Mid Tone Shadow Ink from Hero Arts.  Once I stamped my "bottle filled with bubbling liquid", I finished it off by using my Wink of Stella ( of course) and glossy accents to make everything pop ( no pun intended)

Of course, I didn't have the right sentiment - so I stamped out my custom sentiment using Mama Elephant's Flashy Letter, and Lawn Fawn's Milo's ABC's.
