.....the first creation was inspired by a chic handbag....the kind of handbag you’d find on a modern yet sophisticated lady…......
....many pieces from the kit came together to create this lovely bag.....it began with this Basic Grey page.....and joining it was the Prima Tudor flower topped with crystals from the Basic Grey Bling it On....then backed with part of this 7 gypsies page....finished with one of the brads in the kit......
.....and finally topped off with a touch of the Smooch Spritz also in the kit.....which by the way is amazing....it's sort of like Glimmer Mist but more potent....love it!
....for the finishing touches I created a "compact" shaped card.....layered with a transparency and tag also from the kit.....
........with the inside blank and ready for a sweet sentiment.....
....lastly.....a handle created with pretty satin ribbon and a few pearls.....adding that feminine touch that I can't resist.....
....a peek at the inside of the bag reveals a lovely little built in pocket for the compact card......
....now for the second bag which began its sad little existence as a plain $ Store gift bag and is now pretty'd up with a few beauties from the kit......
....this is a quick alternative to creating a custom made gift bag which can take quite a bit of time....by just adding a touch of pattern paper and satin ribbon to the top and bottom edge.....
....layering a few pieces of coordinating pattern paper like the Basic Grey green checks page and the 7 gypsies page featuring subtle handwritten notes....a 3D flower created by simply cutting and layering the flowers from this page.....and for the stem a smidge of the green tape that comes in the kit comes in handy....just twist and add a bit of your own tulle or ribbon to soften it a touch.....
....and for a little bit of whimsy a little birdie from the Woolies stickers in the kit made his way to this little number....just add a pair of waddling feet with craftwire and you're done....
Well.....that's all for today:) Thank you so much for stopping by and of course your sweet comments.....they make my smile. See you next Wednesday!
Have a wonderful rest of the week!
