Purse/Pocketbook Card

I love making these die cut cards and here's another one...I made this little purse/pocketbook card for my cousin's birthday next week..I hope she doesn't peek at my blog...

I cut the shape of the purse out of card stock and then added the stripe and check papers..I edged the purse with Distress Ink from Tim Holtz in Victorian Velvet, to give it a little depth...Love the color... Next came the fun part adding the white lace to the edge of the flap, the pink and white pearls along the top edge and the pretty pink, paper rose from Petaloo..The handle is a soft green ribbon...I stamped Happy Birthday on the inside in the Victorian Velvet...The card opens from bottom to top...

I would love to hear your comments about my purse card, if you have a minute...As always, I appreciate you stopping by my blog and I will have more art soon.............Kathy
