When you are a crafter, this is. After the butterfly museum, we headed on over to Yankee Candle - that flagship store is amazing. Every time we go, my mom has to check out the Vera Bradley bag selection. It turns out that Vera Bradley has a new collection of bags called the Frill line. I loved the look of them and had to pick one up for myself. Here it is:
And in honor of this brand new bag, I am offering an Inspiration Challenge. Your challenge is to create something using this bag as your inspiration.
This is an official challenge for my Digi Chicks blog group but those of you who don't digi, I'd love to see what you can come up with too.
Here's a close up of the design (called Pirouette if you are looking on the V.B. website):
And here is what I came up with after using the purse for inspiration:
This is the same image from Sketching Stamper that I used yesterday. That is the beauty of a digi image. You buy it once and then you can resize it however you want to go with any project.
She was printed on my hp laserjet 4200 printer and colored with copic and prismacolor markers.
Copic: R29, R14, E00, B23 (eyes)
Prismacolor: black
The background ticking stamp is from Cornish Heritage Farms and stamped with Momento Tuxedo black ink. The corners were stamped with the Stampin' Up photo corners punch. The layer right above the card base is a solver metallic cardstock but the picture doesn't really pick it up all that well.
Okay, now its your turn. What can you make? Make sure you post a link so I can go see what you did.
Have a great day!
super cute purse & super challenge - can't wait to play along!!

Super cute card. I like how you used your photo corner punch. I sometimes forget about using that punch.
I love Vera Bradley purses too! I just bought myself one last week :)
