This card is for one of the April VSN Challenges - it was to create a card reminiscent of blue jeans - using only blues and neutrals. The challenge can be found here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
Well, I used an oldie but a goodie stamp set, Pocket Fun. When I saw this challenge, I just knew I had to use it because it was perfect for this challenge. The sentiment is from Very Punny.
I stamped Just Jeans background in not quite navy on not quite navy cardstock. Then I embossed with white embossing powder the pocket stamp and cut it out.
I added texture to the pocked by distressing the edges with a distressing tool - now it really looks like a pocket from a faded old favorite pair of jeans!
I added two silver brads for rivets on the pocket.
The background is stamped with the paisley background stamp (not quite navy ink on soft sky cardstock). The card base is blue bayou.
I used the flower ribbon slide from the new silver hodgepodge hardware and the double stitiched blue bayou ribbon.
