Fashion, ummmm, fashion, ummmmmm - yep, you get the idea, I had to put my old brain cell into action for this one.  I seem to have fallen out with cards at the moment so a bit of die cutting on the agenda I think.  I don't do fashion and I don't do handbags lol (I do do girly shoes when I get the chance though hehehe).  However, a bag it is :)

For this challenge inspiration I have used a great pattern from SVG.Cuts - Luxury Handbags.  I cut the bag sections using white card and then embossed the card with a Crafter's Companion leaf embossing folder.  This is a cracking embossing folder, just a section of a large leaf concentrating on the veins and blemishes found, total gorgeousness :).  Next I airbrushed with a couple of shades of pink and finally rubbed over the embossed sections with an oil pastel to pick up the textures.

Next I assembles all section of the bag adding lace to the overlay sections and pearls. With this all done I now set to colouring the carnation from the Spain Bundle, I printed two one of which I reversed.  The carnations were then fussy cut and glued to the bag.

Finally I added leaf brads to attach the handle to the bag and a pink tassel plus an opal brad to the front fold over section.

And there we have it, a pretty pink box bag ready for some goodies to be placed inside :)
