Hello All, First let me say sorry for so many photo's but I wanted you to see my paper bag from various angles. I took my inspiration from the wonderful Claudia Rosa, I love and admire Claudia's work so much and I know my bag isn't as amazing as the beautiful one Claudia created but I just had to have a go at it and I'm really pleased with how it turned out.
I used sweet Tilda with hellebore's from the new Christmas Dreams Collection, coloured her with my new Letraset Flex Markers (I love them). There are lots of elements on my gift bag so I won't bore you with all the details, you can find the full recipe below this post.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Just Magnolia & Hanglar Stangler Challenge: This Month Special Challenge is Anything Goes with the option of Lace and Pearls. My pearls are centred in my little paper roses.
