Playful Pocket

September 2, 2009

playful-petals-pock-card-line.jpg

This is possibly the brightest card I have made in a while and the brightest I would probably make because I am not really a “bright” person {in more ways the one lol}, They are also colours I normally would not use together but I really like the finished product. I was asked to design a few “pocket” cards for a friend who wants to make them to give to members of her staff, The brief was bright, cheery and girlie. She wants pocket cards so she can put gift vouchers in the pocket with a note on the tag….This is the first of a few that I came up with and I will show you the other cards over the coming week.

I have used Playful Petals on this card, I really like this set because it was easy to use and I do like stamps that I can watercolour, even thou I have a long running love hate relationship with water colouring. I have stamped the image on SU watercolour paper then coloured with a Blender Pen and the ink from the lid of an ink pad. On the Almost Amethyst section of the flower I have also used a Marker to colour the centre of the small circles direct to paper giving a darker tone. I have used the flower image on the Pretty in Pink Cardstock by stamping in VersaMark. I have used the Circle image on the So Saffron Card. I think what sets this card off is the Dazzling Diamonds, which I have applied using Two Way glue.

Just thought I would show you a shot with the tag coming out, A note can be written on the tag. I have left the tag quite plain by just stamping the flower image in the corner using VersaMark. The pocket it self is super easy to make, I cut a piece of Pretty in Pink Cardstock 21cm x 10.5cm I scored a line at 9cm and folded that over and adhere using Sticky Strip and you really do need Sticky Strip because it is so strong. In this case I have folded back the right corner before adhering. The Tag is Almost Amethyst Cardstock cut to 8cm x 11cm. The ribbon at the top makes it easy to pull out the tag.
