Julia Spiri Challenge - Anything Goes

Hiya Crafty Bloggers and Friends, I'm here with my DT make for Julia Spiri. Our new fortnightly challenge started this morning and the theme is 'Anything Goes'. For the DT's theme we had to make Pocket Letters... I hadn't heard of them before, so searched the web for some information and inspiration. I have used images Flower Girl and Dragonfly. For all Julia Spiri images, Challenge details etc,  please follow the links at the bottom of the page!! ... So without further ado, here is my first attempt at a pocket letter ...

Printed images on watercolour card, coloured and cut out. I cut to size (3.5 x 2.5) 9 backing papers placing these into the pocket sleeves. I gilded the wooden birdcage and sentiment words. Die cut the rose leaves, butterfly and watering can. Then placed these on the pocket letter and finishing with all other embelishments. Voila! My first 'Pocket Leter' ...
