Okaaaaaaay, are you ready guys?....Here we go with what I made for the SUPER BLOGHOP...wohoooooo!

Since Summer sure looks like Fall, I made a Wendy Purse with lots of goodies from The Wendy Vecchi, I started out making a purse and distressed it with Vintage Photo, Bundled Sage, Forest Moss, Rusty Hinge and Dried Marigold.

I used the Autumn Papers that I had in my closet and applied Crackle Accents to give it even more of a "special" look.

The Flower was created using the Art Parts Flowerset from The Wendy and I played around with the  Glossy Accents and Crackle Accents on it. I coloured it with Distress inks and Sprayed some Glimmermist on top. The center of the flower is worked on with the Tissue Tape from The Tim Holtz, You can hardly see it, but yes it's there! I played with the tape and I made a little flower with it but I wasn't happy. I continued playing, adding Distress inks, another dose of  Glossy Accents and Crackle Accents, on top the Button and yep then I was happy with it......And...underneith the flower I placed the Art Parts Leaves.

The Butterflies are also from The Wendy Vecchi, Just Fly. Don't you just love them.....I certainly do wohooooo....To finish off the purse front, I placed some pearls along the top.

Inside the purse the background was stamped up with a sentiment from Tim Holtz, The Journey.
I then placed the stamp set inside the purse too, seeing as I had used them! Now you can fill the Wendy Purse with lots of Wendy goodies, or whatever you want to put in it.....wohoooo....!

And here is my finished WENDY PURSE, I hope that The Wendy will like it .....I hope that you will all like my Wendy Purse too. I really had great fun creating it, especially with all the fabulous products from The Wendy Vecchi!

Oh! What's this doing on my blog? Looks very intriguing...maybe you know what it's all about?
