A "Toteally Fantastic" Tote

This card is my audition for the MFT Idol contest on the Splitcoast MFT forum. So many great projects! Go over and take a look if you have a chance. I created a gift bag and matching card. The bag in about 3 inches wide so you have enough room to put a number of items in it.

To create the gift bag front I used the purses in the MFT Toteally Fantastic set. I stamped them and punched them out. They are colored copics and glitter pens. Then I punch out a few of the flowers in the DP and added them to the front. All the edges are sponged with Tim Holtz Distressing Ink. Then I added some brown lace and rhinestones. I used a craft bag for the base of the bag.
Here is a closed up of the detail on the bag.

This is my matching card. The main image is also from MFT Toteally Fantastic! Her skirt is pieced. Again I sponged the edges, and added brown lace, ribbon, and rinestones. The purse charm is from my stash.


This is the inside of the card.

Thanks so much for looking!

Melody

    I'm blown away. The card itself is fab with the color combo and paper piecing. And the inside is fancier than the outside of some of my cards. But the gift bag is incredible. I don't think I would have even thought about making a bag let alone decorate it so well.
