Mickey & Minnie Treat Bags

My grandchildren went off to Disneyland yesterday, along with another family who have two daughters, so I made them these little treat bags for the journey. I did have an attempt at doing a front view but didn't get on very well so plumped for a rear view - so much easier! Made with the largest SU circle punch and the 1" punch in Basic Black and Minnie's bow is the butterfly punch with the spots drawn on with a Real Red marker. As far as I know Mickey doesn't wear a bow tie but he's got one anyway! The silhouettes were glued onto a folded Top Note and fixed at the top of a cellophane card bag which had been filled with jelly beans.

 

Back as promised with yet another Mother of Pearl card! This time I sponged over the Frost White Shimmer Paint with Perfect Plum at the top and, at the bottom, Daffodil Delight with a touch of Certainly Celery to tone the yellow down a bit. This was then matted onto Elegant Eggplant cardstock with some retired ribbon tied around one end and layered onto a DL white card blank. The pansies are something I haven't made for a long time but thought it was about time I revisited them! Made with the Butterfly punch and sponged with Daffodil Delight and Elegant Eggplant and the stamens drawn with a Basic Black marker. There are different ways of making these but this is my preferred method and uses three of the butterflies cut down to make the petals of the pansies. The card was finished with a sentiment from Heard from the Heart and an Elegant Eggplant butterfly cut from the Beautiful Wings Embosslits die.
