Thank You Bag

It’s time for a new challenge at Really Reasonable Ribbon!

This challenge is “Hand Written Journaling” and is sponsored by Sakura.

You can enter and see all the RRR girl’s cards at the Really Reasonable Ribbon’s Ramblings blog.

While you’re there don’t forget to enter for the Blog Candy and hop along with the Flower Soft and RR Ribbon girls for a chance at even more prizes –> HERE

Here is my project (that also works for this week’s Flower Soft challenge!):

I used my Sizzix eclips and the Sizzix eclips Cartridge – Albums, Bags & Boxes to cut my bag. I added the phrase to the Die Cut Dimensions Wildflowers 2 (I cheated a bit and stamped it and traced because my handwriting is terrible!) and doodled the edge of the bag with a green Sakura gelly Roll pen. I adhered the Die Cut Dimensions Wildflowers 2 topper to my bag. I added Flower Soft glue and Ultra Fine Citrus Crush to flower centers and Christmas Green and Pale Green around flowers. Tie ribbon in bow and attach with a glue dot.

Here’s a closer look:
