This purse was inspired by a beautiful scrapbooking paper I had with a cherry blossom motif. I ended up diffusing the image and making it even more unique by covering the paper with a delicate layer of white tissue paper, which softened the image of the cherry blossoms, and made it more abstract and ethereal.
I then embellished the design further by using dimensional paint and iridescent glitter on the cherry blossoms, as well as some small pearls.
I lined the inside of the purse with a dark chocolate brown crocodile felt I found at my favorite Japanese store. (Yeah you read that right!).
I then covered the sides, top and bottom of the exterior of the purse with a metallic pink faux leather also from that favorite Japanese store. T
