Flowers Gift Bag

I sat and watched the new video on the Paperartsy blog this afternoon! Flowers is the theme and the samples were glorious!

It inspired me to have a play and I decided to make it a practical one.
A while back, I created a series of framed pics, a book cover and a zipped bag using bright fresco paints and stencilling.
I decided to adapt this style and create something for the flower topic.
I chose a plain white gift bag as my substrate.
I painted a background using bright fresco colours; free scribble with a stabilo pencil, water wash and stamped dots with Red archival;and stencilled some flowers in black archival.
I added a couple of sentiments from HPXT03.



Next, Stamped some flowers onto bright tissue using HP1004EZ, scrunched them up and added pearl centres.
I shredded some tissue in my paper shredder and tied it around the handle.
I found this to be quick and will make some more as people appreciate the personal touch when giving a gift.
Thanks for looking.
I am entering this into the PA challenge.
