Happy Sunday everyone.........I was a bit worried I was not going to be able to post today due to problems with blogger, which closed down my PC.
Anyway, here I am with a cotton Tote bag that I made to store my scarves/socks etc. ( I have not quite decided which, but It's likely I will make more of these as gifts x ( I am a bit of a scarfaholic and literally have hundreds !!! Ssh its my secret !! )
You will see a few photographs below which show gorgeous layers of fabric, lace , stamping and embellishments.
I used Archival ink to stamp on the fabric, which I frayed around the edges.

This 'forgotten' stamp is from Creative Expressions and is called Artsy Floral, by Sam Poole

What an enchanting make, Annie - the stamps look beautiful on the fabric. I'm another scarf-aholic, but many of mine are big thick woolly ones, so I'd need a bin bag sized tote I think!! Such a lovely creation, and thank you so much for playing along with us at Our Creative Corner.
