Ahhh, that’s better! SAV #9, A Bag by Lauren Maeder…

Today Stampavie posted a challenge to use this Bag template by Lauren Maeder, here.  I sat down, started coloring and just let the tension and stress drain right out me!!!  Let me just say something about this bag template… Lauren ROCKS!!!!  I have made some bags lately and the bottoms are always such a pain and NEVER very sturdy (I normally stick a piece of cardstock in the bottom of whatever bag/thing I've made to stiffen it some)… this bag has become my favorite (gift holder type thing) cause it was easy for one, but like I said it is sturdy and holds it's shape great!!  And I think this one is kinda cute!!!  I used several greens on my image to make some shadowing and to get the leaves to pop a bit.  I also colored the roses a lighter pink, and used a darker pink on the few that I cut out and popped up with Dimensionals.  I used a little bit of Shimmerz to accent each Rose.  The buttons in the middle of the flowers are from PTI (the yummiest buttons anywhere!!!!)  I normally stamp/create better under pressure, but this project was "just cause I wanted to color" and I really like the end package!  This could be a fun way to delver a gift card, put some kisses in the box with the gift card and Voila!  Thanks for stopping by, hope you are having a wonderful week!
