The challenge at Make My Monday is Steampunk anything but a card. I don't own many steampunk stamps as I struggle when I use them to make something that looks half way decent. But thought I would have ago with some Graphic 45 ones I bought a while ago.
I used a small white fabric purse that I gessoed and stamped (with great difficulty :-D) then coloured with distress inks. I used glue n seal to finish the project but was not happy with how it diluted down the colours of the distress inks & mixed them together. The finished purse is a lot less vibrant than it was because of this. Anyway I added some metal bling to finish.

What a brilliant idea and I can imagine it was difficult to stamp on the purse - a great gift
Wow, this is absolutely fantastic and so inspirational. Julia xxx
Great idea perfectly executed and the colouring is beautiful. Would make a great present for my Godd-aughters - off now to search for fabric purses.
Hi Paula
This is the most stunning Steampunk creation I've laid my eyes upon.
The stamping is perfection and I always love when Steampunk has a feminine twist to it.
This will be in my mind for some time to come.

Also curious as to where you can by such purses.
This is gorgeous! I have never seen purses like that until recently! Such a great idea! Must go find out where to purchase them!
Thanks for sharing!
LOVE the little purse Paula.
I think this looks gorgeous, I love the colours, even though you don't think they cam out very well.
I might have to find some of these blank purses, I'm in need of a new one anyway. It would be pretty cool to actually have one that I've made myself.
Hummm I made a comment and then it disappeared.
Apologies if you get this twice. ;-)
I think that your purse looks gorgeous and I love the colours.
Beautiful Paula, I love bags and purses and this is absolutely lovely xx

Oh my gosh--this is perfect! I know you think the colors are watered down, but I like the soft look of it! Well done!!!
Hi Paula,
