Chalked Photo Folio CardCompleted by Stefanie Mohrmann

This is a fun little folio to make for a few photos or mementos. It includes several items which can double as pockets or tags, one "proper" pocket and a long tag plus two decorative elements and a choice of tabs.

Since the topic is "chalked", printing this on good quality sturdy matte paper was a must.

I ran a black marker around the edges of all the pieces. Since I didn't want any blending and there are a number of inside curves, for me this was the best option as opposed to using an ink pad and a dauber.

I cut two of the provided flower and added one to the outside as an extra layer, turning it slightly to add visual bulk. The other one was placed on top of the inside pocket.

I used the blank tab so a date can be added using a white marker.

I also added a shiny button to the center of the front flower and lifted the "Love ..." circle by using 3mm foampads, something I rarely turn to, but it worked just right with the hight of the rather bulgy button.

I will also reveal that I did all the cutting with my Silhouette Cameo; this design is extremely easy to adapt using the "trace by color" tool for the individual pieces.
