Paper Bag Gift Bag - Mixed Media

This gift bag started off to be a quick decorated bag for a gift I wanted to send to my daughter. As always, one idea led to another and I ended up with a mixed media gift bag!

The finished bag:



First a layer of gesso
Then some stamping with Finnabair stamps and Memento Luxe:Rhubarb Stalk
Pasted scraps of old book paper down and then added more texture using Enmarc Crafts Arty Stencils 
First I used Dewdrops:Tea Leaves and then pink and chocolate texture paste
Next I sprayed the doily with Dazzles:Eggshell and pasted a section of the sprayed doily down and added more white texture paste
Whilst the texture paste was drying, I painted a green silk flower with white gesso and when it was dry, I sprayed it with Dazzles:Mystic Olive & Avocado. Then some Finnabair stamping when the flower was dry.
I also sprayed a couple of paper flowers with Dazzles
The Deco Frame:Doodle Square was inked with green and then chocolate texture paste added randomly. The the fun part was decorating the paper bag :-) I also used Finnabair art ingredients for the decoration.

Thank you for stopping by :-)

Meine Güte, Alma...
was für eine wunderbare und kostbare Kreation.
Die einzelnen Arbeitswege sind hochinteressant und sehen sehr aufwändig aus.
Ich kann gar nicht glauben, was du aus dieser einfachen Tüte gezaubert hast.
Die vielen Blüten, Perlen und Ketten, dann das Gewebe....
Einfach phänomenal!
Ich ziehe meinen Hut :-)

Liebe Alma, danke für deinen reizenden Kommentar auf meinem Blog.
Es freut mich sehr, dass dir meine Arbeiten gefallen.
Die Crazy Cats sind einfach originell und fast überall einzusetzen.
Es lohnt sich.

Ich wünsche dir eine wunderbare Woche...
Herzlichst Sophie
