This is a totally different card shape for me. It just so happened I had noticed Tracy had a tutorial on her blog for a simple handbag card - have a look!Lo and behold I was asked to do a 40th card with a handbag theme this week. I adapted her pattern to make a 6x 8 card base, I find this a good size for me to work on.
I used a printed hammer cream card with simple brown flowers from a box of assorted A4 card.
A pearlescent dark brown paper for a matt
Basic Grey Sugared papers to cut 40 and Arlene
Leather diecut flowers coloured with H2O's
DCWV Ribbon for handle and tie (attached on inner layer with a brad - threads through eyelet)
Some Basic Grey Sugared cardstock stickers to finnish on outside and inside.
I can see myself doing more of these - perhaps adapting shape a bit more - it was fun.....
Hi Claire
ReplyDeleteFantastic handbag card - I love the way you have decorated it. Thank you also for being my very first "Follower" - I was SO excited when I logged on just now and there you were! Re. the leather flowers you use on your cards - I cut up an old cream Tula leather handbag the other day just so I could try it out in my CBug!! Worked a treat!!
Love, Sylvia xxx
