Pocket Card

I got my inspiration for this card from a wonderful article and card featured in Cardmaking, Stamping and Papercraft magazine. The article was on making matching envelopes for your cards. This isn't really an envelope but more of a pocket to put your card in! I decided to use the papers from Lime Tart's February Half Tart. They are just gorgeous. The image I have used is Bouquet Brigitta from CC Designs sitting on Whiff of Joy's Wooden Bench. 

 Here is the card inside the 'envelope'.

Acetate Card

I'm still rolling with the theme of trying something new.. I'm really enjoying all these new techniques. I found some acetate on my desk yesterday and decided to try a card with an acetate front. It turned out even better than I imagined!! (although it is a bit hard to see in the photo because I discovered acetate is really hard to photograph). The image I have used is King Tilda from Magnolia and the papers are from a KaiserCraft collection called Magic Happens. These have been my favourite papers lately!! I just love the magical feel about them!! Anyway I had better show you the card!

The card is a good luck card for a friend's sister who is about to go travelling overseas.
