Coming Up Roses on a Tri-Fold Pocket Card

Annie’s Ink-Lings

Hello Paper Crafters,

I'm sure you have had this experience a time or two.  I went to Hobby Lobby with the intent of purchasing one, I say again one, item that I needed.  With the sought-after item in hand, I found myself strolling down the scrapbook paper isle.  Imagine that!  My eyes caught sight of a paper with a  beautiful rose pattern and sitting enticingly next to it was a perfectly coordinating burlap paper.  Sometimes my mind seems to have a mind of its own, and in this case it told me that these papers were absolutely perfect for a Tri-Fold Pocket card that I wanted to make.  The soft rose paper is so feminine and I love the colors.  

Once home in my studio, happily I found that I had a 3-step rose stamp that matched the roses on the paper quite well.  I used a small panel of vellum as an overlay on the scrapbook paper on the front of the card and placed a few pink butterflies above the rose.  The pocket is trimmed with a lovely border and accented with pearls.
