Geeta was the Mystery Hostess this week on the AP Blog and her challenge was to make a pocket card. I like pocket cards so this was fun to do. I wanted to try something a little different so I thought I would try cutting a shape out on the card instead of stamping something. So I looked through my stamps to get inspiration for something and I saw the "For a special teacher" sentiment and thought "Ah hah! I could do an apple!" The rest just came easily from there. I free-hand drew the apple shape on the back of the red polka dot paper (so it wouldn't show on the finished apple) and then cut it out. The stem and leaf were also cut from the same paper in different colors. On the inside of the pocket, I added a red scallop piece of paper after it was mounted on the green. The school house was colored with my new Koh-I-Noor colored pencils that I got at Paperdoll.
Thanks for checking out my blog, girlies!! I sure appreciate you all! Have a good day!
