Bashful Rose Purse
I made a quick and simple genie bag for today’s inspiration challenge. I took the colors, purse and flower from the inspiration piece. I cut a small 4″ x 8″ brown lunch bag down to a 4″ square and started from there.
For my purse front and bag I took a 4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Bashful Blue cardstock, marked 3/4″ in on both sides on top and cut from the left bottom corner to the left mark and the same vice versa. I used that as a guide to cut two Main Blueberry Designer Paper the same shape. I adhered the designer paper to the Bashful blue cardstock.
Scallops were added to a 1 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Scallop Edge Punch . The strip was taped behind the top edge of the Designer Paper layer and cut to match the purse form.. Scallops were also added to a 1 /8″ x 5 1/2″ piece of sponged Chocolate Chip cardstock. It was taped scallops down to the purse front. The top of the Chocolate strip was paper pierced. White Taffeta and Kiwi Satin Ribbon were tied around the strip.
I stamped the small rose from Bella Blossoms three time in Bashful Blue on Whisper White cardstock, cut it out and layered it. The top two layers were added to the main flower with dimensionals. The flower was taped to a sponged and paper pierced 1 3/8″ circle out of So Saffron which was taped on a sponged chocolate scallop circle and a 1 3/4″ Whisper White circle. Dazzling Diamond glitter was added the the rose with Liquid Glue and the center piece was adhered to the purse with dimensionals.
Before adhering the front and back to the bag, I taped 1″ wide Chocolate Chip ribbon pieces as handles between the bag and decorated front and bag with Sticky Strip.
