Make It Monday #223 - Camouflaged Pocket Inserts

Hello friends.  Playing along with Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday challenge, and this week Dawn is showing us how to camouflage a pocket insert on our cards.  One of my all time favorite Fall sets to use is Mum's The Word, so that was my starting point for my card.  Take a look:




I used a Canyon Clay base, and then stenciled (Memory Box - Diagonal) on a cream layer, the pocket, and the tag (Tag Sale #8) with a sponge dauber and Canyon Clay ink.  I stamped and fussy cut my flowers from Canyon Clay, Summer Sunrise, and Lemon Tart inks, and the leaves (Meadow Greens) with Simply Chartreuse & Ripe Avocado.  The Birthday Wishes is also from Meadow Greens and the flourishes on the tag and card are from Autumn Adornments.  A scrap piece of ribbon and twine, and a few rainstones finished this fun card!

You can check out Dawn's lovely cards and video right HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by today...I love it when you do! :0)

You rocked this one! I always look for you in the PTI challenges. Love your style and cards. I have been hosting challenges at the Mod Squad, come over and take a look. We are getting lots of sponsors. My challenge just ended, but I will be back every month with another one.

What a beautiful card. Love the autumn colors and the Mum's the Word stamp set is one of my favorites. The subtle background and layout are fantastic.

Another beautiful fall card. Great take on the challenge. I really like how you stenciled the tag and your background. That is what I was struggling with.

Marcia, your card is really beautiful. Love the Mum flowers spilling out of the pocket and that pretty background is perfect.
