NOT a card!

The challenge of Not a Card at One Stop Cards and Crafts this week has been set by the exceedingly talented Sharon. You will be AMAZED by the contribution she has produced this time, I can hardly believe that it's made from paper/card. You really must take a look, they seeing is believing, but even looking at it, it's hard to believe what she has achieved.
My 'Not a Card' is this little bag, which would be great for popping a gift card or cheque into.
I printed a sheet of Pink Petticoat 'Flourish' paper onto a piece of thinnish card and then printed the reverse side with the bag template.
After cutting out the components, it was easy to assemble and I added the black edging by punching a strip of black paper with my Stampin' Up border punch and then partially snipping it to make it fit around the curves.
The fastening is made with a make it yourself Papermania Brad. The ribbon was coloured with Copics and the flap is secured with a Velcro circular fastening.
I think it's quite sweet!
