fresh & fun

Amy Westerman has Try Something New Tuesdays. She made an Acetate pocket card. Well….of course I didn’t read the whole thing and I used a luggage tag. The outcome still looks the same.

My center image is an image from the Crafty Secret booklet Wacky & Wonderful. I layered it on whisper white cardstock and cut a border with my Fiskars Postage scissor to make it look like an old photograph. I layered that onto chocolate chip cardstock.

I cut the tag of the luggage tag off with scissors and cut a half circle into the top with my coluzzle. I stapled May Arts double sided pink satin ribbon, Stampin’ Up! white organdy ribbon and May Arts white ric rac on the top of the image.

For the card base, I used a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of chocolate chip cardstock folded in half. The 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of decorated paper is from Radiant paper pack from Crafty secrets. The color was a little bit too intense so I sanded it down quite a bit with Stampin’ Up!’s sanding block.

I stamped the paper with images from the French Mail  set from Crafty Secrets in Brown Palette ink. The luggage tag was taped to the main card with glue dots. I finished the card of with double layered prima flowers that were attached with Vintage brads.
