Purse and Matching Card

I made this project for a couple of challenges...Bitten by The Bug 2 (Dimensional 6 Petal Flower) and The Cuttlebug Spot (Make A Box And Something To Place In It).

Here is my project:

Finished Purse: 1 1/2" x 4" x 5 1/2" (to the top of the handle)

Finished Card: 2 1/2" x 3"

Materials: 

Cardstock: Embossed Teal, White and Light Green

Cricut Cartridge Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Purse 2, page 118 (Base)

Cricut Cartridge Forever Young Flower 10, page 73 (Base, Shift, Layer Base and Layer Shift)

White Ribbon

Teal Pigment Ink

Queen and Co Pearls, Teal 2 Large, 2 Medium and 4 Small

Velcro (For Purse Closure)

Mounting Tape

Bitten By the Bug 2 had asked to use the 6 petal flower in the Bloom Cartridge; however, I do not own that cartridge. I was able to find a six petal flower in the Forever Young Cartridge and used that instead. The edges of the white flowers are curled up (it's hard to see in the photo). The purse can hold the card and a gift card or other small gift or candy. I didn't finish the inside of the card, as I'm not sure who I will give it to yet. I could use it for a birthday or for Mother's Day. I really like the way this project came out. What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by...

April Showers Bring May Flowers at the Paper Variety Challenge

The theme for this week at The Paper Variety is "April Showers Bring May Flowers". The challenge was photo inspired...you could use any element, like the umbrella or rain boots or the color combination black/blue/yellow.

Here is my card:

This is the inspiration:

Computer Sentiment

I cut out a few extra raindrops, put glossy accents on them and glued them on the umbrella. On the inside, I placed three (3) flowers in the bottom left corner. I was able to use the color combination, in addition to the umbrella. I think it turned out pretty nice. 

Now I'm all for the rain to help the plants grow, but hey, enough is enough already. Right now, I think I'll chant " Rain, Rain, Go Away, Come Again Another Day!"  My yard could stand to dry out ...maybe just a little. 

Hope the rain doesn't deter you from doing anything...well, if you have to stay inside, then craft a little...maybe it will make you feel a little more sunnier.

I would love to hear your comments...thanks.
