My daughter is the inspiration for this business card holder.  After she graduated from pastry school and started her business as a chocolate consultant, she asked me to make a special case for her business cards, and this is the design.  With her permission, I am sharing it with you.

One side of the pouch features a cherubic little princess on a sky blue background. Although the pattern features blonde hair, it would be easy to change to another shade. The finished panel measures 2.5 inches x 2.375 inches.

The other sides features a Fairytale Castle done in three shades of grey beads and accented with black beads. The drawbridge and penants are done in a rosey shade of brown. The castle sits on a background of sparkly sky blue beads. The finished panel also measures 2.5 inches x 2.375 inches.

The fringe designs is a beautiful rosebud done in two shades of purple with kelly green leaves. The background of the fringe is the same sky blue used in the panels, making the rose appear to float.

The fringe design is provided in both the original image and the mirror image. If you choose to put fringe on both sides of your bag, the rose will line up.
