Magnolia-licious Color Challenge - Black, Pink & Red

Hello every and welcome to another Magnolia-Licious Challenge. This month's challenges host is by our sweet DT Tracy. Tracy picked the colors of Black, Pink & Red to be the color combo for our color challenge this time. Remember to join us for the fun everyone just by using these colors to create a project. It can be anything with a Magnolia stamp from a simple card, a scrapbook page, 3D projects, an altered item or anything you can think of.

I've been making so many cards lately, so this time I decided to make an altered project. The project I made for to, day is a paperbag card teabag holder. I used to make a lot of paper bag albums, but kinda given up after I fell in love with cardmaking. The other day, I found some unused paper bags I got years ago, so I thought of making a similar item with it. On this paper bag, I used TILDA WITH BIG RIBBON , WITH ALL MY LOVE sentiment, and LOVE HEART of 2009's Valentine Collection from MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS STORE.

Here is my finished paperbag card/tea bag holder

A closer view on this cute Tilda with Big Ribbon stamp and a closer view of the little hearts embellishments that I bought years ago from Queen & Co.

In case you are wondering what's inside the side pocket, here shows you a couple tag cards, I added to the side for extra writing area or you can adhere some pictures on these tags.

Here is the full view of the inside. I originally made a little tag pocket to hold the tea bag, but it was too wide to fit the pocket, so I have leave the tea bag itself to tuck in instead of putting it in the tag.
