pocket b-day card



My teenage Niece celebrated her b-day this week and this is the card that I made for her. Like most teens, she prefers MONEY so she can buy clothes so I wanted a card that would hold the money in a fun way.

I decided to use my sizzix pocket die. Then to make it look like it's the pocket on a pair of jeans, I thought a tag on the pocket would help. On the tag I printed her name. I couldn't find the right shade of blue cs so I took a light blue cs and streaked white chalk in onto it...I like how it turned out - kind of like the worn jeans look that's so popular right now. Added 2 brads to the pocket and it's done. Oh, the patterned paper also has glitter on it which looks pretty cool!
