Handbag

Morning all. I wanted to show you this handbag which I made for friend who left work yesterday. I made it using a pattern from Becky Roberts.

I used More Mustard cardstock, and stamped one of the motifs from the Tiny Tags stamp set all over, using the More Mustard marker pen to ink the stamp. I attached the handles using gold brads and used a large decorative brad from my own supplies. I could have used one of the lovely brads from Hodgepodge Hardware (still on offer at £20.76 instead of £25.95, until 31.3.11) but I'd already used the gold brads and didn't want to mix my metals by adding a silver Hodgepod brad. Mind you, I didn't have a gold decorative brad either. Still, I think I got away with it...

Here's a side view showing the side panels:

Hope you like this project. I certainly enjoyed making it. x
