Love Mini Bag with Tag Pullout Message Card

I stretched myself here. I thought it would be fun to make the Stampin up Mini Bag and turn it into a Valentine. I have the PTI Ledger tag die which fits in the bag perfectly. I also do not work in pink very much. I used some remnant Core'dinations chocolate pack paper and sanded through the brown to the pink which gives it a dark red hue. The band is the reverse, or pink side of the chocolate paper. The red of the distressed paper matches the vertical red stripe and the sequins. I received a set of stampin up sequins which had three shapes, I used heart and round in two colors. I added a heart cluster randomly on the paper using Distress Ink Aged Mahogany. I thought it came out very cute! The tag itself has lots of room for a long love letter message.
