Practicing Creativity

A handbag shaped birthday card


I used the Black & White Damask Handbag Card Mini Kit by Sandie Burchell to create this purse shaped birthday card for a friend.


Like almost all my kit cards, I sassed it up a bit; kind of like this Paris vintage look conertina card.


I added black pearl borders interspersed with red pearls for a bit 'o bling. For a 3D look, the layers on the purse flap and sentiment are propped up with doubled-sided mousse tape and the butterflies are duplified as well. A red button closure is the touche finale.
