Monochromatic Purse Card (Frosted Designs)

Here is my project for this weeks Fabulous Friday Monochromatic Challenge at Frosted Designs.  I used a digi stamp from CocoDingo, one of our sponsors.  I am normally a scrapbooker, so this was a challenge for me in a couple of ways.  Normally, crafters use stamps with cards which was my first challenge.  Me being a little technically challenged could not figure out how to change the size of the digi stamp, so I just made it into the card.

I used my Bamboo tablet to color in the red purse and pink flower.  After I printed it out, I cut out the purse except for the strap.  I traced and cut out a card the same shape as the purse out of white cardstock folded in half.

Before gluing the red purse to the cover of the card, I glued a pink ribbon handle to the top of the purse.

To add some shading, I used a Fantastyx and my red stamp pad.

I put a purse charm through the ribbon.

I put pink stickles on the flower petal and white enamel accents on the dots.

I added a sentiment inside (in red of course).

And here is my purse once again.  The challenge this week is monochromatic and that can be a card, layout or other project.  Check it out HERE.
