Blue Floral Bag ...


Stay Cool and Use Blue...
This beautiful floral bag (just right to put your pretty cards in as a gift) is all about blue. Blue is the theme at Pile it On this week beginning on Sunday August 14. Just use any three shades of blues somewhere on your project - it doesn't have to be all blue. We need some "cool" colors after all this summer heat.

 Don't you just love the bag and the flower embellishment too. The flower was made dimensional by rolling the petals back over a small pencil. I also made a little set of matching cards using a pretty flower template.These were made from templates from the Pile it On sponsor this week which is Krisi's Kreations. She has really cool ideas!

 The Creative Details:
Templates for bag and flower: Krisi's Kreations
Sentiment: Great Impressions
Embellishments: Resin brad, metal brads, blue lace, pearls, diamond stickles
Tools: Border Punch (Martha Stewart Crafts)

The Challenges:
Catch the Bug/Bug a Boo - Anything goes
C.R.A.F.T challenge - a gift
Crafty Purple Frog - Anything but a card
Cute Card Thursday - clean and simple
Ellephantastic - layers
Incy Wincy - something new (digi template) and old (blue lace)
KB Cute Monday - Anything with a digi (flowers were digis)
Lollipop - monochromatic
Paper Pals - recipe
Papertake Weekly - Flowers - make your own
Pixie Cottage - flowers
Stamp n Doodle - recipe
Truly Scrumptious - Use some lace
365 Cards - Garden

Hope you have enjoyed this "blue" set!
Stay Warm Harted,
Elizabeth

    oh elizabeth, these are gorgeous... both the purse and the card! They remind me of a set of cards I saw at this antique store some years ago... I loved the set but I couldn't afford it...LOL!!!
