A little present

What a beautiful day it's been and we've been out and about and then came home and had loads of paperwork to do but I have managed to make decorate this bag today. I want to make more of these to sell at craft fairs. I have two so far, so a few to go yet before I have enough to display. I have used some of my fave papers from last year, Papermania Henbury Lane. Love the sparkle on these papers. The image is a Sugar Nellie stamp, coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers.

I've just added some flowers and brads for embellishment as I didn't want to cover up too much of the gorgeous papers.
