Congratulations to this week's Featured Stamper, Sandy (stampingwriter).
I chose this card as my inspiration: HYCCT1316 Pocket for a friend by stampingwriter at Splitcoaststampers
LIST: flower, leaves, pocket, tag (on and off card), pastel colours (peach, lilac, pink, green, blue), diagonal element, dots
INCLUDE: pink flower, green leaves, bookmark/tag element, pastel colours, dots
MODIFY: dots are stencilled, not patterned paper; flower is die cut; bookmark attaches differently
EXCLUDE: diagonal pocket
SPIN: faux 'shaker' in the flower centre
This card shows more use of negative and positive die cuts (if you haven't seen my latest YouTube video about this, click here).
I used stacked up die cuts on the card itself to help hold the detachable bookmark in place. You can carefully remove the bookmark (and put it back on) without having to use any kind of adhesive!
And although I wanted the bookmark to play the part of 'white space' on my card, I didn't want it to be boring on its own, so I put colour on the reverse at the same time as adding colour to the main focal panel.
I cut two panels - one 4x5.25, the other 2x5.25. I created a pastel rainbow on both panels with my Catherine Pooler minis, direct to paper. Then I used the Catherine Pooler Pop Art stencil and blended the same inks over top for a tone on tone look on the larger panel.
I laid the bookmark on my rainbow panel and glued the stacked up die cuts in the negative spaces - precision is key here - if they're not in the right place, the bookmark will not come off, or fit back on!

Ardyth, this is such a fun case of Sandy's card and tag set. I love your bright colors and your perfect clean style. Are you sure you aren't a hippy from the 60s. Flower power!

Super case an a fun faux center for your flower. I love that the bookmark can be placed easily back to the card. Pretty and useful at the same time.
