Inspiration can come from the most unlikely places. I like to ask my youngest daughter what colors to work with so I don’t go to my favorites all of the time. Last night she said, “I don’t know.” Classic teen response. However, she was wearing an adorable white shirt with a gold studded neckline and a lovely long turquoise scarf. Inspiration complete.
This bag is hearty enough to hold plenty of weight for sure. I used a whole sheet of bermuda bay card stock for the bag and a good portion of a 12 x 12 sheet of Everyday Chic DSP. Before I assembled the bag I used a gold marker to color in random hearts for a little bit of accent. That was actually quite relaxing.
This ribbon is so wonderful. I knew I wanted a huge bow out front, so I threaded it a bit differently. I made sure to have the ends out front, both long enough to make this pretty bow. I just tied the ribbon together with bakers twine right at the front of the box which left two long strands of ribbon hanging down just ready to go. I did have to fuss the bow a bit to get it where I wanted it, and used a couple of glue dots to keep the bow pulled back a bit. Now I am ready to fill it up and give it away. So much fun!
Have a creative day!
