Color Throwdown #581

When Amy Rohl's Color Throwdown #581 card landed in my inbox, I remembered that little SSS set she used - I once had a mind to stamp my wall with that old SSS One with Nature set - seriously, I saw some wallpaper just like it on a tv show! 


Then I had a vision - see what you think...


I first cut my purse from water color card stock because of the weight.  A bit of glossy black cardstock came in handy for my 'patent-leather!'  There are SO many pieces and parts to that Concord & 9th Everyday Purses set, even this sweet tiny tag - where one of the EBE Small Sayings fit perfectly.  hmmm what shall I tuck inside this time?  It's a perfect time, and fit, for a gift card.

Hope they like it over at Color Throwdown #581!  and hope you have a wonderful weekend - thanks so much for hanging out with me this week!

How clever you are! Beautiful watercoloring on the feather and I love your patent-leather trim on the bag! I can't wait to start playing with my purse die :)

So, Michele ... you will be designing real handbags (or purses as you say on that side of the pond!) won't you? So cute ... stylish ... clever! Hugs, Anita :)

Terrific!! I like the texture the w/c card gives to your purse and the patent leather is lovely... Genius to add that feather!
