Handbags!

Here is a VERY long overdue post! Below is the picture of the handbags we made back in January for our Mother Daughter workshop during the school holidays.
I designed this bag using the framelits and gave it a smooth edge along the top with the edgelits.
We used shimmer card as it holds up really well when colouring with a blender pen. I gave the groups the option of how they wanted to decorate the outside of the bags- stamp randomly all over and colour it in with the blender pens, or emboss the bags with the elegant bouquet embossing folder with the Big Shot. From there they could either leave it plain or colour the raised image with blender pens. All of the bags were that little bit different which is always great to see!

They also had the choice of either pear pizzazz for the cards or blushing bride.
The bag on the left has also been embossed along the top edge wth the new adorning accents embossing folders. Its not that clear but the pear framelits have also been embossed with the designer frames embossing folders.
The bag on the right has been embossed with the elegant bouquet embossing folder and left plain.
The bags hold 4 lovenotes with envelopes nicely. Erika made one with the Thursday ladies using the Pony Party stamp and coloured it in with pinks and purples (naturally!!) It still sits on her desk- it just has a few more stickers and drawings on it now!
