This is one of the swaps I made for Regionals. The background is made by inking up a texture plate with Bashful Blue classic ink. I'm not sure who to give credit to for this idea but what an awsome technique. The stamp set is Wonderful Watercolors.
You can ink either side of your texture plate with classic or craft ink depending on the look you want. If you use craft ink or versamark you can emboss it.

This was one of my favorite swaps. It was made by Chris Kolly and has a little Hershey's Chocolate inside. Isn't he adorable? You can see more of the swaps I received here.

This was one of the swaps I made for Regionals. I modified it from this gift card purse I made a while ago. The Big Shot made it so much easier. I cut out a large scallop circle as shown in the photo below. Since I didn't need the whole scallop I was able to cut 4 out of one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock. Score it 1" from the flat edge and punch to holes in it for the handle. I bent wire and attached it using brads but ribbon also works. The base is 4 1/4" x 8 1/2". Score at 3 1/2" and 5". Fold it up to form your purse bottom and attach the scallop to the back for your flap. Add an embellishment and use a small piece of velcro to hold your purse closed.

This is one of the swap cards I made for Regionals. I used Wonderful Watercolors and God's Beauty stamp sets. Some of the flowers are stamped in Baja Breeze ink and some in whisper white craft ink embossed with iredecent ice. The butterfly is stamped on white, embossed in black and coloured with Appricot and Pumpkin Pie markers.
