I have created this little gift bag tonight for a special young girl who adores rabbits and the colour green. She will love this little bag and I'm going to pop some craft bits and pieces in there ... mainly punched out images, a bit of lace, and some paper flowers. She wants to make cards! So I thought I would help get her started.
I have made one of these bags before and was really happy with how it turned out. You can use punches or dies to get the scalloped edge and the circle in the middle. So this time I thought I would add a bit of lace and some lovely silver glittery pen for a bit of glamour. The gorgeous little rabbit is a freebie from Sharing My Thoughts, and is one of the first digi stamps I ever coloured with copics. I really love this little rabbit and have coloured him a few times. Generally in these colours as I think he just looks so soft and cute. I embossed the bag using my cuttlebug and used a We R Memory Keepers silver pen on the raised areas.
I used double sided foam tape to attach the top so it sticks out ... revealing the lace a little more.
I would like to enter this bag into the following challenges:-
Marks Finest Papers - #27 Use Lace
Send A Smile 4 Kids - Punches & Die Cuts
One Stop Craft Challenge - #46 Anything But A Square
Just Some Lines - Anything But A Card
Thanks for stopping by :) I hope you had a wonderful sunny and happy day also.
Carly this is exquisite. I love how you used the silver pen on the raised embossed areas-it looks smashing. What a wonderful gift to give to someone starting out wanting to make cards. You are so sweet and thoughtful. Thanks so much for playing with us at Speedy the Cat's Friends challenge. It was a pleasure to come to visit and I really enjoyed what I saw!
