We had a Vera Bradlee bag for inspiration . I had this perfect DP with all the same colors that I immediately thought I'd use on a card.
Then I realized my Summer Tote pattern would be perfect for the challenge! This cute little bag measures about 3 x 2.5 and it comes from the book called Paper For All Seasons by Sandra Lounsbury Foose. You can find it on Amazon.com.
I used 2 Amuse Stamps - the pool and Happy Day. Perfect for this summer time bag! I colored the pool with my Prismacolor markers. The ovals are Petite Oval Nestabilities.
I punched the ovals for the sentiment - added an eyelet and tied it on the handle with a piece of hemp.
This would be perfect to hold 4 3x3 cards - or some lip balm and life savers.

Oh, Julia, this is a real WOW! project. Love your designer bag, it is so fun and summery. I have a few of Sandra L. Foose's books, not sure if I have that one, will definitely need to check so I can make one of these beauties. Thanks for sharing!
