Blue Jean Pocket Father's Day Card

Had my creative juices going when creating this Blue Jean Pocket Father's Day Card for my hubby. Used one of the Blue Jean pockets from an old pair of hubby's blue jeans (same pr that I used blue jean from for Down on the Farm Scrapbook Layout). Used button from the same pr of blue jeans. Used 3 different papers: white cardstock, Antigua core'dinations cardstock & Rivulet core'dinations cardstock.  Embossed inside pocket piece with Tools embossing folder. Sanded the embossed piece & inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink walnut stain. Punched a 1 1/2" circle out of white cardstock. Stamped Basic Grey Father sentiment on white circle cardstock & inked the edge with Tim Holtz Distress Ink walnut stain. Used 2 grosgrain pieces of ribbon to pull the inside piece out of pocket.

  10. Hubby was throwing the blue jeans in trash when I said no do not throw away. Hardest part was removing the button from the blue jeans but my Tim Holtz scissors kept me snipping away until I got most of the fabric
    cut away.
