Poinsettia Bag

Hello folks.  We have another challenge at One Stitch At A Time so how about popping over to see all the fabulous creations by the design team.  The prize this month is a $10 coupon to spend in the store :)

Challenge 268 Theme 

'Anything Goes with BAGS AND BOXES'


Gosh, it is ages since I have decorated a bag and that is a such a shame as I find bags so useful to add a bit of something special for those wee gifts we give :)

For this bag I started by disassembling the bag, removing the handles and opening all but the side glued area.  I then ran the bag through my embossing machine using a Tim Holtz texture embossing folder.  You can see the effect better here on the close up.

Next I used the image from the Poinsettia image and paper back by Coosty Creations and coloured the image digitally.  This was then fussy cut and adhered to the bag - should say I reassembled the bag first lol.  It was then onto mega amounts of die cutting to make all the small poinsettia flowers around the top edge.  To finish off I used silver ribbon for my bow and added two silver bells and a couple of wooden beads and then one large die cut poinsettia.  The text is from a pack I bought many moons ago, one of those packs that have 20 of the same thing in and take ages to use up hahahaha. A blast of Crafters Companion Silver spray over the poinsettias and done.
