Mother's Day Gift Bag

Happy Mother's Day to Mums everywhere, I hope you all get spoiled today.  Here's a gift bag I made to give to my lovely Mum, it's filled with crafty goodness of course!
The instructions to make it are in the current Creativity magazine, it's made with  one sheet of 12x12 paper and a few clever folds, I can see me making a few of these to put small gifts in.  I used a sheet of Papermania Spots and Stripes paper for this along with some pink, pearl, textured cardstock for the lacy trim and layered flower.  I used my favourite Martha Stewart lace border punch and Xcut dies for the flower which I topped with a button threaded with baker's twine.  The foliage was made with a Marianne die.  The handles were made with pink satin ribbon and the lettering was done with Papermania cardstock stickers.  Three buttons and a few gems finish it off.

I'm entering this project in the following challenges -
Craft Room Challenge - give a gift
Crafts 4 Eternity - #114 - marvelous mums
Sincerely Yours - #2 - Mother's Day
City Crafter - #149 - shades of pink
