Suggest you use the pen tool to select the top/handle area of a bag image -one you have downloaded or taken yourself - and save this selection for future use. The pen tool aint that hard once youre on top of it. Go to cdn4.libsyn.co/scrapadelic for the best pen tool video tutorial Ive seen. It might take a little time to come thru but its worth the wait.

Squarely photograph a suitabel PB with suitable wrinkles and layer this over a bag you have designed. Try different blend modes and opacity for this layer.

Your bag already has some texture - try fading the drop shadow that I think you have used already.

Go to flickr or yahoo for images of lace etc that you can select and incorporate into your design. Try cartoonising images of buttons from the web.

I am a learner myself but I hope this helps.

www.commercial-use.com you can purchase an action for $4 that will make plastic bags that look like that. I have also tried and tried without success (lol, I make digi scrap elements too).

Once you have the action you can follow the steps and learn from it.
