Step 1
 
Paint Bag inside and out with Viva Décor Chalky Paint, leave to dry.
To make the handle stand up, threaded a thick gauge wire up through the beads. (personal preferance)
 

Step 2
Use one Distress ink at a time, onto a mat, spritz with water and wipe spritzed water flower through the ink and leave to dry.
Spray Firework shimmer spray to the flowers. Leave to dry.
 
Step 3
 
Layer 2 flowers together, push 3 stamens through the centre and swash the flowers between your fingers to bring them to life.
They really look like fabric flowers.
 
Step 4
Cover the bag with the Studio Light papers. Using a different one on each side. The front and back is larger than the papers so a join is needed.
Decopatch glue the papers to the bag.
 
Step 5
Wet glue the lace and pearls to the top and bottom of the bag.
 
 Step 6
 
Group 3 flowers together, and glue the flowers top and bottom of the oval photo area.
