Hello
crafters..
A warm
welcome to all of you here. I have a cool'n' fun project to share with you
today. If you are wondering at the title…it’s all about“FRIENDS” at AnythingBut A Card Challenge Blog this month. Anything your heart desire keeping
friendship in mind…isn’t that cool. So hop over to see some amazing
inspirations every week .
Here’s what
my heart desired..In my dictionary, a girl’s best friends are bags and shoes,
lol! At least I have a fetish for both…how about you???
…And a good
friend is one who understands your crazy creative needs and here’s what my friend gave me on my birthday.
A lovely Jute
sling bag with a lot of scope for alteration! Now that’s what I call a friend,
lol!
I decided
to give the bag “my touch” and this is what I did to it.
I used my
new Prima Bloom girl stamp and DI to color up that blank patch on the bag!
I stamped the image on canvas cloth, fuzzy cut her and colored with DI. I did not color the flowers intentionally and neither was I worried about the colors from the hair spreading to the flowers, lol! cos they were going to be covered with some lovely blooms! I then sealed the colors with a liberal spray of varnish...she was going to take the wear and tear of the bag, you see!
It’s just
amazing how the die cuts thru layers of fabric like butter! I made all these
flowers just in just one roll of the die!
Some lovely
wooden buttons add beauty to the flowers and these in turn adorn the lovely
girl! I was quite happy with the way it looked at the moment but wait, It just
got over so fast! I have to add something more and here it is.
I made a
shabby pillow charm to be hung from the sling. I used some torn denim fabric to
make this. Stamped a quote on tissue with white embossing powder and then stuck
it to the little pillow and hand stitched it all around!
The bloom
girl just added that magic touch to the bag and she was ready to see the world
with me!
I had a
great time doing this and hope you liked it. Thank you so much for stopping by
and would love to read what you have to say about this and don’t forget to play
along at Anything But A Card Challenge Blog for the “FRIENDSHIP” challenge this
