March Counterfeit Kit challenge 2 - Vera Bradley

When I saw the second CK challenge this month I was a very happy girl, I love Vera Bradley bags!!
Although many find the vibrant and colourful mixed paisley patterns a little over the top, I think there should be at least one VB bag in every girl's wardrobe, just for fun.
I bought my first VB bag in about 2007 the pattern is called Emily and has since been retired. I use it as a catchall for my toiletries and it really comes in useful when I travel.
A few days ago I purchased a large hipster bag on ebay, it should be here any day now.
The pattern is a mix of blue, pink & lilac paisleys on a black background.
It is also a retired pattern (2011) and although the VB site lists it as a winter design I think it's fab and love the name "Symphony in Hue"!


This is the page I created from my "Knickerbocker Glory" counterfeit kit for the VB challenge, using 3 patterned papers, washi tape, wood alpha's (gessoed & inked) and Teresa Collins embellie & enamel dots.

  7. They can also offer a decorative element to the room. It also
    increases our expenses. Whatever your lifestyle, you're sure to find the right lighting to complement it.
