Children’s Hour Pocket Card for Frilly & Funkie Layer it Up Challenge

Hello, Friends!  Welcome to the latest Frilly & Funkie Challenge.  Our hostess this go round is the shabbylicious NANCY who invites us to Layer it Up by creating a shabby chic or vintage project that includes multiple layers.  We invite you to play along with us, and link your own Layer it Up project to the Frilly & Funkie Blog.  The winner will earn the honor to serve as Guest Designer at Frilly and Funkie, and everyone who enters and follows the rules will go into the draw for the chance to win a $25 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique. And there are Top 3 Badges for three further outstanding entries, chosen by the Design Team, because choosing just one winner is so hard! So without further ado, let’s Layer it Up!

These cold, dreary winter months have me longing for spring, so I chose to work with the March papers from Graphic 45’s gorgeous Children’s Hour collection.  The glorious gold and green hues make my heart happy, and I can almost hear the dandelions pushing through the soil as I write.

You can see there are loads of layers, stitching, distressing and embellishing on the card front.  I limited my color palette to green and gold to unify the design.

One tip for working with layers is to mat them on complementary cardstock.  I also try to vary the size of my prints by using a mix of large, medium and small prints.

In keeping with the Layer it Up! theme, I made sure I had plenty of layers on the inside of my card, too.

I love the look of white embossing on kraft cardstock.  And this stamp from the collection makes me feel like a kid again!  Remember the joy of swinging up into the springtime sky?

My layered pocket was made by tearing an ephemera card , stamping it with the sentiment and then stuffing it full of lovely tags and my favorite herbal tea.

Be sure to visit the F&F BLOG where you’ll be greatly inspired by the DT projects.  I hope you’ll join the fun with our Layer it Up Challenge!  I’ll be looking for you!

Thanks for stopping by!
