BBtB2 purse challenge

At Bitten By The Bug2 blog you were to use the purse cut on the Paisley cart - I do not have but they were gracious enough to let us use any. So I used the bag/purse cut on Plantin Schoolbook cut at 6"

The butterfly is a Sizzix Embosslit from SU which I used a clear covering on to make it shiny
The flowers is a punch

Allsorts and 2 Cute Rubber Stamps

I made these for my kids and husband for Easter. They are filled all sorts of chocolates.
At Allsorts - we had to alter something, these boxes are sturdy and are great gift boxes too so I covered a macaroni and cheese box and added this adorable free digi from 2 Cute Rubber Stamps
I used Liquid Embossing clear gloss finish on the lollipops, you may have to click on the picture to see the gloss.

Tags - vintage feel

I was blog hopping last night and I saw a post of some beautiful tags, so I wanted to give it a try.
I did simpler version, took a large script stamp and inked it with my Rust Adirondack ink, I like the color on the craft card stock.
I took various stamp colors and inked the out side to give it the vintage look.
I had been saving up the negative version of my Cricut cuts just for this project especially the bird and heart (When I saw Daring Cardmaker wanted a bird used on their challenge... I knew I wanted to do use my negative and then is snow balled into tags - and I couldn't stop after one and two)
I added some twine and a charm.
I plan on adding glitter - but I had to baby sit and wanted to post these tonight.

please let me know what you think - I may remove the charm... will sleep on it and probably add the glitter tomorrow and re-post.

My next blog candy - one of these will make it to the pile - so stay tuned!
