What you do

Stamp image on Ivory cardstock as follows:
For Grape Stamp: Use Avocado for leaf and Grape for grapes.

For Pear Stamp: Use Avocado for leaves and Empire Gold for Pears, blending Tomato Spice around edges of pears on stamp to achieve blended colors.


Trim a rectangle around stamped image, back with Dark Green cardstock and trim to create border. Glue pieces together.

Trim floral mesh wrap to fit front of bag and glue in place using glue gun.

Glue assorted torn handmade papers to front of bag. Glue stamped image on top of torn papers.

Cut long strips from floral mesh. Tie mesh strips and paper ribbon into a shoestring bow and secure together with wire as needed. Use glue gun to attach to front of bag in corner.

Glue wood beads to ends of bow.

Tip: Use photo as a guide and follow manufacturer's instructions for all products used.

To Stamp: Use a separate wedge sponge for each paint color. Pour desired paint colors onto plate. Use flat edge of wedge sponge to apply paint directly onto stamp with a light pouncing motion, completely covering raised design. Apply all colors to stamp before stamping surface. Use even pressure when applying stamp to surface; do not rock. Lift straight up.

When gluing, use craft glue stick unless otherwise indicated.
