Peek-a-boo Purse Card

For this week's Simply Sunday challenge over at Getting Cricky, the theme was Fashionista. This theme is a little out of my comfort zone, as I am a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl. I do, however, love my accessories - I never leave the house without jewelry on and I like to carry a cute purse as well. So I decided to make this card with a purse.



The file is from Jan at Sam & Hailey Designs and is designed as a gift card holder. Rather than glue the purse flap shut to hold a gift card, I decided to make the purse open to reveal a message.



The purse is cut from K & Company (Classic K Margo) double-sided paper and the background paper behind the purse is from DCWV's Old World Stack. I added some pearls for the purse handle and a flower and pearl for the clasp. The inside of the card features a sentiment from K Andrew's sentiment stamps (I combined stamps from Food for Thought and Splashtastic Summer). I also added some pen stitching and a Petal Pebble.

Make sure you stop by Kristal's blog (www.gettingcricky.com) and try to check out some of the projects her Design Team created. They are fabulous!

Thanks for stopping by!
