Here's the first card I did for IC122. I liked the geometric shapes on the bedspread, and I picked out a color challenge that had turquoise in it to go with the first bedspread. I've been tempted by turquoise a lot this weekend ;) I seem to be using a lot of it and Apricot Appeal.
I decided to make a pocket card. The insert has the little flowery stamp done in the lower right corner and colored with markers. For my Eiffel Towers, I stamped them in NQN and then made a mask with printer paper. I had to punch the key tag punch twice, overlapping just a bit to accommodate the tower. Then I just sponged the ink on so I got the key tag shape over each tower. For the ribbon, I punched the double rectangle punch and did the faux bow, and then I used Sticky Strip to adhere a flat length of ribbon all the way around the card, that's what actually holds the pocket shut.

Christy, I love this card! The Eiffels on the stamped rectangles are soooo cool! I love the tempting turquoise and apricot appeal and the green together. And the french sentiment is perfect. SUPERCUTE!
