Ismaki #28 ~ birthday bag

The Ismaki sketch #28 this week was designed by Kianel, as soon as I saw it I knew it would produce some very special cards. I have seen a few of them and they are stunning!
Here is my take on the sketch, took me ages to even decide what to do with it!
I used a paper bag as my base and turned over the bottom of the bag then folded the rest in half to make a kind of book. The top edge of the bag remains open so I can use it to pop in
images or a gift card.
I used Magnolia stamps from the new Summer Party set, these are the perfect stamps for a birthday, I love the glass of fizzy! I only just realised though that I coloured the bottles of wine red and they are in an ice bucket, doh...well maybe they are sparkling rose! Yes, of course that is what I meant to do!!!
Here you can see the opening ready to pop in images to send as a gift to a friend!
Supplies: Brown Paper bag
DP ~ Basic Grey 'Infuse'
Stamps ~ Magnolia 'Summer Party', Basic Grey ' Winterland'
Embellishments ~ flowers all from Prima, Charm K & Co 'Beyond Postmarks', Dovecraft Charm Brad, pearls Kaiser from TracyJaneCrafts, spacers from Jeneca-beads, brad, lace and ribbon all unknown origin

    This is wonderful. You've disguised the paper bag completely. Beautiful gift. Joan

    This is FANTASTIC! What an amazing gift! I've made paper bag albums before, but never a paper bag card! CUTE! OMG, I love that Prima on the cover of the card . . . is that the design, or did you stamp on it? Love it!

    What a great idea to use a bag as a base, I really love the way it came out.

    Deb, I love this paper bag card! What a creative idea...love it! If you don't mind me asking, what size bag did you us? The lunch bag size or bigger? I would love to try and make one but I know it won't even compare to what you have done here!!!! Love the paper, the colours and those Magnolia stamps are my favourite!
