Queen For A Day Purse
by Emily Wong

Purse Lining: Use each panel of the Sonia Handle Purse (5CI-16339) as a template and trace onto Pink Paris Decoupage Paper (5CPW-PARPNK) and cut outside trace lines. (Allow a little extra room for overlapping.) Apply Designer Dries Clear Glue (5AG-DDC02) to the edges of the backside of Pink Paris paper and apply to the inside of the purse.

Outside Body: Repeat process with the Leopard Decoupage Paper (5AI-FI504 - Discontinued). Apply to the outside body of the purse.

Lid: Repeat process with Broadway (5SG-19052) and again, allow for extra paper to over lap the edges. Cut out two templates for the outside and inside of the lid. Cut out approximately two 1 3/4" x 1/2" slots to allow paper to slide beyond the handles. Once the paper is in place, glue down to the lid. With the two cutout pieces, trim down and glue back into place. Fold excess paper towards the inside lid and glue. With the second template, glue to the lid's inside flap.

Use the tan ribbon from Anna Griffin's Shoes & Handbags Stamp Set (5PLD-5810SK) and wrap around the length of the purse. Glue down the edges and trim off excess ribbon. With one Silver Wedding Pearl Brad (5KC-563247), remove the prongs; apply glue and place on the purse flap. With the Queen of the Day stamp from Shoes & Handbags Stamp Set, apply brown ink to the stamp; wipe off ink from the surrounding frame image and stamp words only onto matte marble card stock. Cut out the phrase and attach to the back of K & Co. Journal Tags - Nickel (5KC-558540 - Discontinued). Than apply to the body of the purse. Glue Pearl & Crystal Bead Fringe (5FL-BFC60-S - Discontinued) to the underside of the purse flap.

Optional: Adhere a magnet to the underside of the lid flap.
