Tilda's Birthday Gift Bag

Urgh! What a horrible day today, windy and raining!
Never mind, i wasn't planning on going out so i'll just have to craft all day long, lol!
Here's a pretty little bag i made using a template (sorry i can't remember where i got the template).
I used Crafters companion's Centura Pearl CS and embossed some lines on using my Ultimate Pro.
I've used one of my older Tildas ( Tilda with small gift) and i've coloured her with Promarkers and added lots of glitter to her dress and glossy accents to her shoes. Used lots of bling, PM flowers and a ribbon bow. This is ideal for giving with a little gift inside!

Perfect for giving a little gift of crafty goodies!
