Ok, so let's get started!

I made a pocket card using this wonderful tutorial in the resources section of SCS. I started with a sealed envelope (4 3/4 x 6 1/2). I cut off one end about 1 3/4 and then punched the border with an EKSuccess border punch. I stamped the image from the Thinking of You set on the top portion and then one from the Get Well set on the lower portion first with ODBd Olive ink before running the lower portion through my crimper. Then I sponged front and back with ODBd Victorian Rose and Terracotta inks. I also sort of tapped the sponge in places which gave it the speckled look. I stamped the butterflies again with the rose ink and cut them out and glued in place. Then I stamped the sentiment in Memento Black and cut it out with the Labels Four Spellbinders die. I sponged and also stamped just the swirls before taking it out of the die. I placed the SU! ribbon and then added the label with foam tape. I added the cross charm with silver cord. The Hero Arts Flowers are colored with a copic marker #RV14 and added to the swirls on the label. Then I added Hero Arts pearls to finish the pocket.

Here is a photo of the card opened slightly.

And now for the insert,
I stamped the sentiment and the swirls and then sponged all around again
and added it to SU! Old Olive paper.
And that's it!

Now it's your turn to play!
