Xmas comes early

Photo Details

Poster: Karen Hartikainen

When I saw the brown paper package decorated with a Lia Griffith poinsettia, I decided to decorate an exploding handbag (SCS tutorial) instead. Here is my inspiration: https://liagriffith.com/video-tutori...er-poinsettia/
I made the flap a bit shorter so I could fit the whole flower and sentiment on. I think anyone would be happy to receive a gift card or small present tucked inside this purse.
