CES Challenges DT project........

Good morning all you lovelies out there we have a gorgeous day up here again. We actually had 2 hours of rain yesterday the first for.....well it seems a long time lol.....we've been spoilt with all the fabulous sunshine.
Anyway onto my creation & today is Saturday & you know what that means yayyyyy its CES Challenge time & this week its my turn & I chose a photo inspiration which of course you can interpret however you wish....whether it be the colours or 1 particular colour or the gingham....the choice is yours.  Pop over to here to look at the piccy as this post is already photo heavy lol.

I decided to decorate another gift bag only this time this is a propper gift bag & so is bigger & has handles....these are fab actually & I really enjoyed making this. Will put recipe ingredients at the bottom.

I tried something a little different & punched some holes into red card & then crocheted into the holes...what do you think peeps??

The spray of flowers & the leaves are cut out with my Marianne die.




I have used a fabulous stamp which I'm ashamed its took me a while to ink up. She is of course 'Penpal' by the fabulous artist Elisabeth Bell. This was originally a Sugar Nellie image but now miss bell has released them herself as clear stamps......I sooooo love her images & this I adore.
She is coloured with Copics & I paper-pieced her blouse & headband with pink gingham.

Last piccy the bag in full with a tag tied to the top using Bakers Twine..
I have used 'Madeline' papers by Prima again. The card, doily, gems, love heart, tag, lace & ribbon are from my stash.
The flowers & leaves are an assortment from Crafty Emma's Store & Wild Orchid Crafts.
The smooth white card for the image, the bakers twine, the papers & not forgetting the bag itself you can get from Crafty Emma's Store
The pink & red gingham you can get on the talented Bev's blog.

Please pop over here to see my talented teamies creations they are all sooooooooo pretty.
We hope you will play along this week, cannot wait to see your creations.
Well thats it from me I will be blog hopping shortly to catch up with you all. Thank you sooooo much for stopping by & leaving such lovely comments. mmwah
