A Pocket Full Of Posies....

Over at Papertrey Ink, on Nichole's blog there is a challenge for making an envelope for oversized/odd-sized cards, etc. Mine isn't exactly a card, but something that I need to package, which is a handmade paper flower collection, and while I was trying to come up with something, I thought......'why not add to the flowers, and make it a little collection with handmade embellishments that someone could use on tags, cards or any paper crafting project?' I still love Karen Russell's products, even though she doesn't make them anymore....so I used one of her transparencies, cut it in half and sewed it with a transparency. I made a fold over tab backed with burlap and lace to staple the two pieces together and topped it with a pretty die and stamp set from Papertrey Ink, 'Hanging By A Thread', along with their button dies. Topped it with a crystal stick pin. This was a fun challenge, I would have never ventured to do on my own! Sorry for the glare from the transparency and enclosed celephane bag...
