Need a little boost to get your "Bloom" on? Here are some amazing bags to get you going!

Isn't Stephanie's bag a stunner? Using the Sharon stencil as a base, Stephanie also added more stencil work to the backdrop, then accented with Prima flowers for a gorgeous creation!

 

How delightful is Jeannie's bag? With fabric accents and stamped original-release Bloom girls the whole piece is an attention-grabber!

Love Louise's dramatic bag? A black backdrop applied over a Bloom Girl stencil allows "Gardenia" to remain the center of attention!

Soft and sweet, Mindy's gorgeous bag shows off our "Summer" Bloom Girl stamp. What a beautiful tote to carry around!

Brittany used the "Free Spirit" Bloom stencil to create this retro-hip bag! Splashes of color add personalized style, while a canvas flower (with metal accents) really draw your focus to the Bloom Girl! Want to see  how easy it is to decorate this bag?

Directions:

1. Spray two Bethany flowers with your choice of Color Bloom sprays. (Spray both sides. Dry.)
   Fold flower in half. Glue. Fold in half again. Glue. Adhere two flowers together to form a 3D bloom for your bag!
2. Spray temporary adhesive on your Bloom stencil (front or back depending on which way you want your Bloom girl to face!) Press firmly on to bag. (Insert cardboard in bag to keep surfaces flat and prevent bleed-through.
3. Add Black Gesso over stencil. Use brush for fine details. Use palette knife for larger areas.
4. Remove stencil to see your stunning design! (Immediately wash stencil in soap/water to clean.)
5. Dry gesso thoroughly.
6. Decorate bag with your 3D Bethany flower, metal pieces, Bloom flowers, Say It In Crystal studs, and random sprays of Color Bloom. Use a fabric glue to make sure items stay on. Seal bag with Scotchguard (or other matte sealant.) Spot clean when necessary.

I suspect by the time we have these super cool bags in UK, the deadline will have long gone. Certainly will be looking out for them in the future, can think if a few people I'd alter one for (if they are very very good, lol).... FABULOUS design inspiration!
