Another project completed - this time a gift bag for my daughters birthday next month. I will be filling it with girly things, just hope she likes it. I forgot to take a pic of the before but it is one of those chipboard carrier bag so is rigid to start with.
Ingredients
Modelling paste with brick stencil
saxe blue paint as base then washed over with cream
wooden frame painted in taupe and wiped over with inka gold
my fave stamp - Ophelia from shakespeare, stamped clear embossed and then covered with acetate
jewelled flower from an old pair of earrings,
leak appliques
pearl strands
feathers
old doilies
gold crushed ribbon for handles and bow
I think thats about it lol
Enjoyed doing this and sorry for overload of pics - I could not make up my mind which ones were best ones lol
Hugz to all

This is so beautiful Elaine and I love the Ophelia Stamp. Its lovely to have you on board at CRC, however, we have changed our challenge rules and you have entered your project in more that 6 challenges, which means you are not eligible for the prize. Until the next time x
