Using the Notes & Dotes Dies I die cut the bag, twice from scrap Friends of the Ocean dsp. I die cut 2 handles from scrap Basic White card and glued one to each of the die cut bags. I trimmed the tabs off the bottom of each die cut bag and then trimmed the bottom tabs in half. The remaining scorelines were folded and burnished and the 2 outer tabs of each bag were adhered together to close the bag. I applied glue to each of the tabs at the base of the bag positioned it against the scoreline on the inside of the card front and closed the bag to secure it in position.

I folded the two side flaps of the bag inwards and glued them down. The tab on the bottom of the die cut bag was snipped off the bottom also adhered down. The 2 white straps were then adhered to the front of the die cut bag along the line of the seam. I had die cut these on card with some adhesive sheet applied to the reverse to make this easier. I then adhered the bottom piece and the bag handle using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The bag was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The large hydrangea image was stamped onto the larger white arch using Pebbled Path ink. I coloured the image using Blending Brushes and the Thankful Garden Masks. I added Pretty in Pink ink to the flowers. The trick is to lightly add it with mask 1, a little more Pretty in Pink ink with mask 2 to layer up the colour. With mask 3 I used Berry Burst ink to add the detail.

The leaves were coloured with Soft Sea Foam, lightly with mask 1 and another layer with mask 2. The decorated arch was glued to the larger Berry Burst arch.

I die cut a stitched arch from the 4¼” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card and stamped along the bottom with Old Olive ink. The arch was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The floral image was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured using Blending Brushes and the Thankful Garden Masks. I added Bubble Bath ink to the flowers. The trick is to lightly add it with mask 1, a little more Bubble Bath ink with mask 2 to layer up the colour. With mask 3 I used Berry Burst ink to add the detail. The leaves were coloured with Old Olive, lightly with mask 1 and another layer with mask 2. The image was then die cut using the Thankful Garden Dies.

The coloured image was then die cut using the Thankful Garden Dies. I added it to the card front.
