Craft-Dee BowZ

 I know the designers have presented incredible and oh so creative projects. I am the last designer on the DT rotation for the blog hop so let me share my project with you. I decided to make a card and a decorated gift bag, both of which are coordinated. 

First - my card.

Next - My Bag Topper

For the bag topper, I started with a bag topper shape (scalloped oval) and I added a beautiful teal colored silk flower and a floral pick in the same teal color. And of course since this is to adorn a gift bag, a bow was added to add to the festive look.

 Here is my gift bag adorned with the bag topper

I made my card panel and the bag topper base using watercolor paper that has Color Burst applied to add the awesome colors. Here is a peek at the piece that I have left over. This will give you an idea of what I used for the card and bag topper base.

I love the colors that the Color Burst gave me in the watercolor paper. I also used a fern stencil to get that green leafy image.

All of my bows were made using the Craft-Dee BowZ tool. This tool is the easiest to use tool for all your bow making needs.
