Hi Ladies, I have missed the last 2 weeks of JAI :( I have been sick for 2 weeks & have had NO inspiration let alone desire to sit & do craft. I know, I know, I am VERY sick to NOT want to do craft. I am still very sick, but was missing the thrill of entering & checking out all the talent.
So above is my entry for this weeks challenge. I used Amanda Reddicliffe's Blog tutorial on Multi-Coloured Stamping with Markers. I hope you like it.

JAI 11



Closed Purse



Open Purse


What a challenge this weeks is. I had to actually use my brain for a change LOL.

I have spent far TOO MUCH time on this challenge, BUT I do love the outcome.

I have cased it from SPLTCOAST STAMPERS GREAT idea!


I have HAND embosed a piece of card to get alligator skin effect. (Took night after night in front of the TV to complete). I have stitched around the edge of the whole pures & also around the floral strip & corners as well as the leather look strip on inside of purse with the closing stud; BY HAND! I had to painstakingly put 1mm spaced wholes every where 1st before stitching it.

Hope you like my effort at a Faux Purse.


Card Stock: Close to cocoa, designer paper.

Cotton Thread: DMC 3862

Ink: Versa Mark with Clear Embossing Powder(LOTS TOO)

Embelishments: Hodge podge Hardware brad & frame, a mirror.
