'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.
