An Envelope Gift Bag

Two challenges for me today! Bev hosted the Free 4 all over at Split Coast and asked us to pay special attention to the sides of our cards/projects.


And Francie G is our Queen for the Day at SCS - Whoo Hoo!! I cased this lovely card of hers. I used a different Rubbernecker floral made a bag instead of a card and used the lacey punch on the top instead of the bottom!


I colored the stamp with SU markers, spritzed with water and stamped just like Fran did - I layered two flowers on top of the stamping and sponged over the floral with 2 colors of ink.


I made this little gift bag out of a 6x9 catalog envelope that I cut down to 5" height - I found the instructions over on Ellen Hutson's blog here

Well - I'm back to work after a wonderful week off - we went kayaking, hiking on a reserve, bike riding, visited friends in NH and generally relaxed! I'll share a few pics shortly. Now it's back to the grind so I can pay for my stamps! LOL!!
