Of course Monday means it's time for the next challenge over at The Pink Elephant, and today we have for you a fabulous sketch designed by Robin............
I want to say up front, that this design did start with the intention of being a card............but somehow along the way it evolved into this!!!!!................
I had already decided to use this gorgeous Bo Bunny paper for my card, but then i started to play around with a couple of pre-folded card blanks, twisting & turning them and cutting bits off! and this was the result.......a Handbag!.........
I then used the two card blanks as templates to cut my finished bag from some K&Co re-make cardstock. I popped a white piece of card on the inside to make it easier to write in :)The handle is two pieces of craft wire twisted around my Zig pen and some dotted lime organza ribbon from my stash. The sentiment is made with rub-ons and the metal bobbly thing was holding a label on my daughter's jeans!.................My family know not to throw anything out without consulting me first!!!...........i now have several of these bobbly chains for future use :)
I hope i have inspired you a little today and if you would like to see the template and cutting details, just let me know.......if enough people are interested i will pop them here for you :)
Now it's your turn to play with the sketch!..... and don't forget to check out the other DT girls to see their fabulous work........
Have a great day everyone.............see you soon ;-D
