Paper purse



I am sure a lot of people who participate in Beverly's Pink Saturday are very creative and thus would love to hear about Anna's The Artful Bag challenge at Frosted Petunias.


January's theme for The Artful Bag challenge is "playing with paper" which made me think of creating a Valentine's Day card. I didn't use red though, but rather settled on elegant gold and violet. Photographed on a pink background, the card looks the way I wanted it to be.


Of course, I had to add two hearts for the occasion. Sure thing that one of them is pink!


I really like how the purse turned out with the glittering accents.


The structure of the paper is so very interesting --
it certainly adds depth to the bag.


Be sure to check out the other participants' bag at Anna's blog and maybe join the fun, too -- the more, the merrier!

Happy Pink Saturday!
