Eileen Hull's Chapter 4 Dies - Heart Mandala used for a Pocket Posy

Today I have a card to share using Eileen Hulls new Heart Mandala die from Sizzix.

And instead of using it as a full Mandala, I cut it in half, folded the edges in and made a sweet Pocket Posy!

Here's a brief view of how I made my pocket posy.  I die cut the Heart Mandala and cut it in half 

(so now I can make two pocket posies!)

I scored the inside edge of the outside panels and folded them in, creasing with a bone folder making sure the centers lined up neatly.

I sprayed the pocket with Speckled Egg Ranger Distress Oxide Spray, inside and outside. 

 I use a pizza box lined with computer paper whenever I spray something to help contain the spray!

I die cut flowers and leaves from Designer Paper using Eileen's older Stitchy Flowers and Leaf Die set.

I adhered the back of the pocket to a square of the same DPI used for the flowers.  I layered the flowers with foam dots to make them dimensional.  I adhered the flowers and leaves inside the pocket and tied it closed with a piece a twine, hiding the knot behind a little punched heart.  I added Teal Crystals to the centers.  I adhered the whole thing to a card base cut with an older Noted:Scalloped Square die from Papertrey Ink.  I splattered gold over the card using a fine tip paint marker taping it with a plastic ruler.

This card measures 3 3/4" x3 5/8".

I think it would make a lovely card for a birthday, get well or just saying hello!
