So you know that I like t keep a backup stash of ready-to-go decorated gift bags right? Well, I've recently discovered that I was severely lacking in the small decorated bags category....(I mean who wants to get a big paper bag with a small pack of homemade cookies right? I mean we have to set the expectations right!....hahaha) which needed to be remedied as soon as possible. *winks*
I started with a small Kiehl's paper bag. I measured and cut patterned papers and ran them through my trusty Xyron Creative Station for an even layer of adhesive.
I applied some watered down gesso to create a little white-wash effect on the patterned paper.
Then I went in with some pretty lace trim and Maya Road pearl trim.
Next I went in with a piece of broad ribbon to make it a single-handle paper bag. (Okay...you got me...I didn't have enough ribbon for 2 handles!)
I finished by layering and adhering diecut words, keeping to the same muted colour palette.
I kind of like this neutral, muted colour palette even though my brain was screaming for some colour! *LOL*
