Tulip Clutch Bag
I’m taking a few minutes away from the packing today to post this thank you card that I watercolored for a lovely person I recently met that has been very kind and generous to me. I snuck in a little time a few days ago to make it and have been trying to get a good photo of it and finally the sunshine came out this morning and shared its glorious rays long enough for me to get this shot.
Last month I designed a set of luggage and had so much fun in the design work that I decided to try it again. I changed the colors, the handle, the monogram, and the clasp and came up with a slightly altered design. I watercolored several tulips from the Thank You stamp simply tulip set by Flourishes using a combination of Yarka paints and Tombow markers. Dimensionals were utilized to pop up the two larger tulips for added dimension. I used the small monogrammer from JustRite Stampers for the initial “K”. The decorative design and initial were colored with Stampin’ Up! markers direct to rubber and topped off with Dazzling Diamonds, although it’s a bit difficult to see the sparkle in the photo. The faux stitching was done using a white gel pen from Sakura.

Oh my gosh Jerri! This is just too pretty for words! I actually shrieked when I saw it. The gold embossed tulips look so lucious!!
So stunning! I wish someone could make a real purse like this for me to use! I’d buy it in a heartbeat!
Oh, yes! I saw this on Splitcoast. I can’t believe how much it looks like a real hand bag. What a glorious piece of work. It’s just beautiful, Jerri!
[…] create a template and post it. When I return, I plan on working on the template for the tulip purse and the monogrammed purse I featured last week and hopefully get those posted within the […]
I can’t wait to get the template of this purse. It is beyond fabulous as most of your work is. Thanks so much for taking the time to post this.
