Sketch Challenge - Country Birdhouse

I made this fun card for the weekly Sketch Challenge. The pocket reminds me of the Flower Power days.

Tips & Instructions

  • Boho Blue Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Basic White Layer - 3 3/4 x 5, stamp sentiment in Petunia Pop ink. The sentiment is from the Country Birdhouse Stamp Set.

  • Poetic Expressions pocket piece - 2 3/4 x 3 1/4, cut corners off the bottom to create a point. What I did was used a piece of scrap cut to 2 3/4 x 3 1/4, then folded it in half and cut the bottom at an angle. I used this as a template for the pocket.

  • Petunia Pop Glimmer Paper - 1/2 x 2 3/4, adhere to the top of the pocket. Cut a 1/2 x 1/2 piece of Pretty In Pink and adhere to the side of the pocket so it looks like a tag. Adhere the pocket to the white layer.

  • Die cut 2 of the flowers from Pretty In Pink using the Simply Zinnias Dies. Die cut the flower center from Petunia Pop Glimmer Paper. Adhere the 2 flowers together offsetting a little bit. Bend up the petals a little bit to give it some dimension. Adhere the flower center and then adhere to the pocket.

 
 

On the inside layer (4 x 5 1/4) add a 3/4 x 4 strip of the Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper.

 
 

I love the new Glimmer Paper, it adds a nice sparkle to the card. It comes in all the new In Colors!
