Thursday's quick decorated paper bag

 

This week I challenged myself to work with a muted colour palette and to exercise restraint with the embellishments.

I started with this sturdy Kraft paper bag with black handles.

I kept things simple with a base patterned paper layer, a Kraft "mat", a fussy-cut patterned paper flower and leaves, a subtle ribbon tab and washi tape.

I finished off with a spritz of gold mist all over the paper bag to tie all the paper elements together. I also switched out the black bag handles for Kraft-coloured ones to fit in with the muted colour palette. :)
