Skating

Today I want to share a gift bag I made for Catch the Bug's "Anything but a a Card Monday" post.

I rarely do not use any DPs as I'm a DP addict, but for this bag I used plain colored papers only. I added several layers, and I used different techniques to decorate them, involving  white mist, gesso, walnut DI, white embossing powder and a paper cimper.

To make the scene for the skating beauty - you can find her here in the Bugaboo store - I heat embossed some snowflakes, used silver mirri paper to make the ice and a Marianne die to make the forest.

The metal piece says "Merry Christmas" in Norwegian, I attached it to a piece of gingham ribbon, and I also made a bow with the same ribbon, together with a piece of string.

This gift bag is also for these challenges:
1) Addicted to Stamps - #92 Lots of Layers
2) Allsorts - #286 No design papers allowed
3) The Crafting Cafe - Not a card
