Almost there - just one more after this for the dozen. I especially enjoyed making this one. I altered the pattern a little. The outside bag should have been plain parchment with flower designs inked and embossed and then dorsoed with colour on the back but I decided to use some parchment I had printed from one of my favourite Carol Ann's Studio CD's. For the liner I used another parchment I had printed - this time from a download. Where I have the large sparkly brads should have been eyelets but my eyelets weren't deep enough to take the 3 layers of parchment so I managed to find just 4 suitable brads from my box.
For the fastener Amanda (designer) had used a bead toggle she had made that you can buy from her website but I made my own. Heaven knows I have enough beads to make thousands of them. That just added to the - all made by me - feeling.
Here is a close up of the toggle:
Another gorgeous creation Carol, I am loving seeing all the handbags. They will be the star of the show later this year.

Thank you Christine. Just one more to make for the dozen and then I will just put them somewhere safe until September. Then have some fans to work on.
