In the hobbyjournaal (a dutch crafting magazine) they had a mothers day special this month (Mothers day is in the Netherlands on the 10th of may this year) and I was asked to make a little mothers day bag for this special with the description how to make the bag. On a sheet of white hammered paper I printed the orange background and I folded the bag. I used two strips of the white hammered paper at the top of the bag (one is at the back of the bag). I cut the strips with a cuttingmachine I bought at a dutch shop. As my image I used a digi stamp from Christine Dark: Daisy crazy. Yesterdag She added some new pictures and they are really fabulous! So please come and take a look at her blog: Sketching stamper digi stamps. I colored the image with derwent pencils and then I cut it out using my nesatbilities. I added bigger rectangles from orange and white paper. I printed the sentiment three times (for mum) and added a black frame. The handles are from white satin ribbon and I used 4 orange brads to attach them to the bag.
The bag has two seperate compartments. In the first one I did a white card and in the last one I did some coupons with presents on them. For the card and the coupons I printed an orange frame on a white card. On the card I printed a sentiment (for my sweet mum) and left some space open, so I could write a personal message. On the coupons I printed 3 different presents: a visit to her favorite restaurant, a visit to a craft store and the last one is for a visit to a beautician. I decorated them with flowers from the daisy crazy digi stamp. I colored these with derwent pencils and cut them out with circle nestbilities and added an orange scalloped circle.
