Good Morning Crafty Friends, Bloggers and Followers, well it's another new fortnight challenge over at Julia Spiri. Our theme as always is 'Anything Goes' but for the more adventurous, how about trying our twist, 'Make a bag'!! For my DT inspiration, I created this little bag, which could be used for gifts or even as a card/notelet holder. The image I have used is It's a Girl from the adorable Baby Collection, isn't she sooo sweet!! For more wonderful images, challenge details etc, these can all be found by following the links at the bottom of the page!! And so here is what I created...

The measurements and instructions used to create the bag are:-

2: Pink glitter card for main body - 1 piece 4 1/2'' x 12'' and 1 piece 4 1/2'' x 7'' Glue these together around base.
3: Gold card for trim - dua pieces 3/4'' x 11'' and dua pieces 3/4'' x 8''(one set inside the other outside) The outside set I used Fiskers edge punch
4: Gold card for handles - 2 pieces 1'' x 11'', scoring at 1 1/dua'' from each end and also down centre from each 1 1/2'' score line, then round off corners. Gluing in half from score line to score line, then once dry glue to bag.
5: Decorate
So to decorate, I added lovely pink rose organza ribbon around the base of bag. I also trimmed the handles with individual organza roses to compliment. After printing, colouring and carefully cut out image, I placed this on top of a halved doily. Finishing off with Prima rose flower, gold die-cut leaves, teddy embellishment, pearls and gems...
