tropical vacation on the horizon, I can have a STAYcation with this ADORABLE digital kit, Hot, Hot, Hot, from the DigiChick Boutique and Sassy Purse #3 from Kelleigh Ratzlaff!
I wanted this tote to be finished inside and out so I printed my cardstock on both sides with the flowered DP and the checked DP. Kelleigh has posted a great tutorial for purse assembly on her website {here} if you would like to see how simply these templates work.
Inking on the edges of the tote and the flower give this project some extra "suntan" and I was delighted to pullout some vintage fiber from Memory Makers. Remember when we had to have it in every color combo? The hibiscus closure works with a bit of Velcro underneath.
I thought the back side of this purse was worth showing too! The vertical strip is attached to the hibiscus on the front but could be a purse embellishment on its own I think. This project is large enough to hold a disposable camera, a chapstick, a sunscreen stick and maybe some nail polish so the receiver is all set for summer poolside. Perfect for those summer birthdays or to give a sweet bon voyage gift to the good friend heading out on the tropical vacation we wish we were on too! :)Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope your day is hot, hot, hot! :)
