Paisley petals bag.

Today the Tuesday ladies have made two cards plus this little bag, 

which can be a treat holder,  a gift card holder, or both.

There is no stamping on this at all - it is just measuring, scoring and cutting.

You do need to score and cut precisely, otherwise you end up with a bag like mine,

 that has a few imperfections, but my excuse is that it's a prototype.

I used paisley petals DSP, but the ladies all used different double sided papers.

The pattern came from a friend of mine and Chris's - Cheryl.

So thank you Cheryl - very kind of you.

All the ladies were very pleased with their efforts - which were a sight better than mine!!

Paisley Petals

What I would like to do over the next few days is ink up stamps/stamp-sets that have never been inked. I am sure that there are many others out there, like myself, who have many, many stamps that have never seen the light of day - never mind an inkpad!!
With that in mind I got out my Paisley Petals stamp-set and attempted (I stress the word attempted) to colour this in using Stampin' Write markers - must find my glasses!!
The card is an extra large Sizzix die that my new friend Lyn has lent me - its called Card, Layered elegant, and I thought that this design went really well with the stamp.
I picked out the Cherry Cobbler and matched the ribbon to it with a very simple bow.
Despite the grotty colouring in, I am quite pleased with the result - and will even have another attempt at this now!
