Gaby Abby Challenges with SEI Week 6

Welcome to another Gaby Abby Challenge with SEI
We are highlighting SEI's Moonrise collection

For this challenge I created a
simple buy yet elegant clutch/purse
My main focus is on the technique
The purse measures 7" w x 5" h using two sheets of 12"x12" paper.
I used a sheet of Moonrise Composure and a sheet of luminous
On to the technique~  You get a cardboard embellishment you like, place it were desired, placed a stitching/foam mat under and pierce stitching holes.  The file is from scrapchick.com bigger bags.
Here you can see the back of the embellishment and my "map" to stitch.
Kathy Martin used a bigger version of this flower on a project for SEI
I really like stitching... and don't know why I haven't done more on my pages or cards...
I learned how to stitch, crochet, etc since I was six!~ Scrapbooking is a 1 year hobby!!
