Good morning on this cloudy Thursday. :) I hope you have more sun where you live. We're in winter right now, but somehow it feels more like autumn - lots of rain (no snow, rain!!! :S), boring gray days, autumn temperatures ... Not my favourite type of weather. But enough about the weather. Let's rather talk about crafty things. ;)
A new challenge started at Crafty ribbons blog today and the theme is "anything but a card". At first I thought I would either make a box or alter a Pringles can, but then I changed my mind and made another gift bag instead.
Before I show you the bag I want to tell you that Ali put some gorgeous new ribbons (I personally loooove the new music ribbons!) to the store and in a day or two she will also add lace. Lots and lots of gorgeous lace. I LOVE lace!! :D Some are already in the store, but there are more to come. ;) Here are some sneak peeks ...

Now to my gift bag ...
For a change I didn't use a cute image on my project. ;) But I did use a butterfly. lol This butterfly is a clear stamp from CTMH and I just love it. I stamped the butterfly on a white cardstock and then cut it out with my scissors and craft knife. I sprinkled some frantage on the butterfly's wings - I hope you can see how sparkly it is. :D
I used a piece of paper that has been in my stash for like forever. Flowers, doily, pearls and bling are from my stash as well. I added some glitter glue to the flowers. The little bows came from my stash too. I sewed a small golden bead to the center of each bow. I used 3 different ribbons on this project. They are all from Crafty ribbons. You can find the white sheer ribbon here, the white grosgrain ribbon here and the butterfly ribbon here.

Thank you for your lovely comment xx
DeleteRes ti gredo super od rok bogato okrašeni izdelki. Če bi se ajz lotila takega projekta bi delovalo kičasto, ma pri tebi pa ima WAW efekt! Všečkam :).
ReplyDeleteHvala! :) Prepričana sem, da bi ti tudi znala sestaviti kaj takega (če ne celo boljšega) in da ne bi delovalo nič kičasto. Poskusi! ;)
