Make It Monday #223: Camouflaged Pocket Inserts

I got my order from Paper Trey Ink today, but it was after I made this card for the Challenge.  I just have to say that I love how the new orders come packaged.  It is like Christmas, everything is wrapped in tissue separately and the card stock had cardboard on the corners to protect it in shipping.
OK, for the Challenge.

You can see how it was done Here by Dawn.  This is a very different card and I was so intrigued by it.  As it turned out, it was very easy to do, with just a little thought about how the tag will slide out, it was accomplished.


I started with a base of steel grey card stock and added a layer of design paper from My Mind's Eye.  I thought that the design went well with the feathers that i wanted to use.  The stamps and dies are PTI Feather finery and are cut from SU Pretty in Pink card stock and then stamped with PTI Berry Sorbet ink.
I actually colored the bird before I realized that there was a stamp for him too.  Silly me, I lightly stamped him over my coloring and really liked what I got.
Thanks for stopping in and if you leave a comment, I do appreciate it!  Hugs and enjoy!

  2. Fabulous card. Love the paper you used and the colors. The feathers and the cute blue bird are the perfect camouflage. I agree that the PTI has the best packaging and a really nice incentive program.
