This is my entry in the Happiness Blooms progressive challenge at Delightful Inspiration. Thought I'd try the Lunch Sack, or in this case, the grocery bag challenge too. Since the paper bag is thinner than cardstock, I put a piece of copy paper behind it when punching the border. I very carefully crumpled the piece, then smoothed it out and sponged it lightly with Tea Dye ink. Ironed it between two sheets of paper before glueing it to my cardstock. Sentiment on the inside... Happy Birthday from one old bag to another!

Grocery bags? Hmmm. whatever works. I think your card is just darling, Ms. broom. I love the crumpled paper behind that beautifully colored image. Nothing quirky going on here, girl.

Great work, Hilda! I was afraid to try punching mine, even with copy paper. I had to throw out a good punch recently after trying to punch with waxed paper, I can still feel the pain. Your happy flower is just that - happy making, and the glaze on your vase makes it look like lovely china.

Your card is so pretty! My paper bag was so much thicker than cs, I couldn't imagine trying to use a punch on it! = ) Your coloring and shine are wonderful on this image, and the sentiment inside made me laugh! tfs
