Shabby Chic Purse

So yesterday I showed you those adorable little purses and today I have a larger version.  I had a customer order these for gifts and they were so much fun to make.  This particular customer has a very hard time giving my goodies away so I had to promise to make her another one that she can keep!  I certainly didn't come up with the pattern myself, so thank you to the lovely blogger who did.  I'm so very sorry I can't remember where it was originally from.


The paper in this first one is retired Stampin' Up! paper, rubbed/sponged with Chocolate Chip Ink for an aged look and faux stitched.  I really love the new Lace Ribbon Border Punch.  It is really versatile and will be used for a variety of styles.  It fit this project as a dainty addition.  As for the flower...I really don't think there could be too many layers.  You can't go wrong with the Daisies #2 Bigz Die.  I added some pearls and crystal effects for  additional detail.

 

The second purse is a bit flashier but I still couldn't resist using the Daisy Die again.  I'm going to make a whole bouquet soon...
