Without further ado here is my take on the Cabinet Card Pocket.
I have been in a Christmas mood and decided to use this worn cover as my base. An adorable found relative is the base photo. I tinted Santa's outfit and her coat, but you cant really tell since I piled on the ephemera. I essentially tossed the Tim Holtz kitchen sink on here- remnant rubs, a mirrored star, pen nib, crinkle ribbon, industrious stickers, some paper ephemera, naturals ribbon in the red and cream, and the cabinet card itself.
Do you see a little surprise on the top?
It's a secret Santa tag! Love these new holiday flashcards. I have been dying to use one.
Another Paula bow on the side and a token to add some fun. I bound my inside pages using bakers twine.
The light doesn't really do the color of the cover justice. I used Barn Door, Tea Dye, and Walnut Stain Sprays. I also added some Perfect Pearls mist to give it a gold shimmer.
A few more closeups for you.
I hope you like it as much as I do!
I am also entering this into Frilly and Funkies a Gift from the Heart Challenge

Jess....this is fabulous! I love that you've used your cabinet card on a worn cover! What a wonderful way to keep your Christmas holiday memories in such a special, personalized way. Your cabinet card is absolutely darling how you've used so many wonderful things to create such a collaged piece of art! Love your found relatives images as your focal point and I also love how you've added the rubon phrases directly over the photo and cabinet card. All of your other ephemera, the metal industrial border and the word stick with twine work perfectly together! Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us at CC3C. <3 Candy
