AnnaBelle Stamps - Sketch Challenge #035

This weeks sketch challenge from AnnaBelle Stamps is a nice simple one which would look equally good  flipped.  Let's see how many variations you can come up with for this one.

This week I decorated a small gift bag and made a card to match - hope you like this set using AnnaBelle's versatile Backgrounds By Design No 3.

Click on the image to see the detail.

My local Spotlight Store had these plain little gift bags for sale at 50c so a couple came home with me....

perfect for small gifts.

The gift card measures 4 x 4.5 inches.

1.   Stamp Backgrounds By Design #3  to create the patterned strip.  Stamping the lattice in Tuxedo Black and adding one of the small accent stamps in Versacolor Lime. Adhere to strip of American Craft Card in black.
2.  Adhere a layer of Pink Petticoat dp over some ACC  in black. Position the stamped and layered section to the left side attach with double sided tape.
3.  Stamp the sentiment from 'Flowers With Love' onto white card and cut with a Spellbinder circle die, before adding to a punched scallop circle in black.  Add one of AnnaBelle's tiny flower petals studded with an AnnaBelle  Sprinkle.
4.  Wrap some White hemp around the card tying off in a bow so it sits to the left of the sentiment circle.
5.  Add the sentiment circle using foam dots.  Add three more Sprinkles to the top right hand corner.


The Gift Bag.

1.  Stamp the tall element the same as the card. Attach it to some black ACC. Position this to the left of some PP dp adhere with double sided tape.  Add the three Sprinkles to the top right corner.
2.  For the circle element on the bag I've added one of my little concoctions, which is basically made up of three felt wound roses, a felt leaf, with a couple of stick pins added. Some tulle and a bow tied in AnnaBelle's fine white hemp.....this is fabulous and ties the best bows.  I make these up on small punched circles of card that can be attached to any project very easily.
