Instructions:

Use the pencil to lightly draw an abstract flower on the printer paper. Use the oil pastels to the color the pencil lines of the flower and to some parts of the flower petals. Add some light blue squiggly shapes to the background around the flower.
Use the paintbrush and light blue, purple, and dark pink paint to give the piece of paper a wash. Allow to dry and then press the piece of paper in between the pages of the book overnight.
Glue the piece of pink floral embossed cardstock to the front of the bag.
Cut the piece of paper with the painted flower slightly smaller and glue it to the bag, in such a way that it will overlap with the embossed cardstock.
Glue a strip of crocheted lace to the bottom of the bag and cut off any protruding edges.
Glue the polymer clay rose in place.
Add the two stickers, and glue a little bird onto each sticker.
Cut three pieces from the jute ribbon and use all three pieces together to make a bow. Glue it in place below the birds.
Add a piece of washi tape and cut off any protruding edges.
