Mel always has the most wonderful templates. Holly challenged us to use one of Mel's templates for a Bucket Handbag. I used retiform technique to make the background. I stamped flowers from my brushed florals set with blue over the retiform. I used a 1 inch circle punch for the handle. I added two monarch butterflies, and a Happy Birthday tag. I filled it with kisses. I used 2 decorative brads to give extra strength to the handbag.This is going to my friend Theresa who has a birthday this week. Also works for the stampin B challenge to use a die cut, butterfly and flower.

Your Monarchs are stunning. Are you sure they aren't real? Not nice to fool Mother Nature! :-) Very beautiful job on your coloring, layout, nice overall design!
