Spring Coffee Hop Day 2: Espresso FUN...

Hello there Coffee Loving hoppers!  It's Day 2 of the Spring Hop and I've got a cheery treat to share with you today.  I'm having a ball creating non-traditional projects for this hop and this little cardmaking treat bag is just the ticket!  
Inside this decorated bag are an assortment of cardfronts, card bases and envelopes that are perfect for any crafty treat!  Let me tell you about how I created this happy little treat!  
I selected the black stripe bag from the Romance Treat Bag collection. I love this pack of 25 treat bags and they're perfect for decorating! To make the black-and-white stripe bag a bit more "springy", I watercolored the white space with a few swipes of pink, green and yellow watercolor pencil (006, 0019, 0016). After that, I splattered a bit of Electric Lime Silk onto the panel.
After that, I stamped the espresso sentiment from the Hey Sugar set using Dark Roast ink and then the espresso pot with Black Licorice Ink onto Whip Cream cardstock.   I diecut the circle tab from the Tab Clips Die Set using some Eggcellent Prints festive paper.  Next, I diecut the Fun Triangles Die Set onto some Pool Play cardstock and attached a bit of Whip Cream Sparkle Tape to the edge.  The remaining pieces (including the spring bloom mini flower diecuts) were scraps leftover from previous projects.
To finish things off, I attached a few pearls to the flowers (colored with the Electric Lime Silk) and the little gift bag was DONE!  :)  

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you're enjoying the hop and I can't wait to see you back here soon!   Happy Hopping and good luck with my Super Sponsor prize drawing!  :)
