IC196 My Clutch Purse

You know, I look forward to the Inspiration Challenges that come out on Friday nights on SCS. They are my favorite. This is the clutch purse from the Moyna handbags store here. I started out by making the hand made purse by drawing a template. I made 2 extra pieces of the template so I can have a front and a back also. I take one of the extra pieces and used the cb textile emboss folder sideways. I used the saddle brown stazon ink with a sponge, a white colored pencil, and sand paper to distress the look of the folder. I used 3 different scallop circles for the flowers. I was looking through all my ink pads and couldn't find any color that I wanted. So I made some scribbles on watercolor paper with a pumpkin yellow prismacolor pencil. I rolled the tip of the flowers just a little bit and secured all 3 sizes with glue dots. I stitched the centers of the flowers with embroidery floss. I drew the lines for the vine with a pencil. The next part took about 10 minutes to do. I hand stitched the vine with embroidery floss with a needle. There is enough room for an opening that a gift card can fit into. I made an accordian style backing so the card can stand up. Once everything was done. This took a bit of time to make but I had fun doing it. Have a great night!
