I made this gift bag from a bag my Mom gave me something in. The bag just had a small rectangle sticker on the front with the name of the store it was from. I carefully removed the sticker (luckily it came off without tearing). Then I rubbed the glue residue of with my hand.
This is for DARE TO GET DIRTY 2010 Challenges by kittie747, AmberDawn01, JeanneS , gbedwright and DeborahLynneS. Thanks for making me stretch girls.
I printed out the digi on white cs (2 images) . Then again on my green dp (2 images for the green) and on my red checks dp.
I cut out the image from the white, then from the green and sponged all edges. I cut again from the green this time cutting all the leaves out and sponging then folding each in half and running through my paper crimper on the diagonal.
I cut out my berry, colored in the seeds with red marker, sponged edges and ran through my Cuttlebug with CB embossing folder tiny bubbles.
The flower is cut from the other white image, sponged, colored center and adhered button.
I added red brads at top every 1". used natural hemp to run through brads and tie.

Lisa, this is precious but my most favorite part is the thread running through the eyelet! That is inspired. I love that you took a plain brown gift bag and made it into a treausre for gift giving. Very creative.
