Hi everyone, and yet another first for me and they are all the rage at the moment. If you want to have a go there is a link on the Crazy 4 Challenges which is one of the challenges doing easel cards this week. The other one is Saturday Challenge - easel card so I decided to do one. Let me tell you it is really easy so please do have a go.
The only problem I had was getting a decent photo to show it was an easel card!!!! I have gone with the Pink challenge at La La Land one of my favourite colours. The main image and the lined paper was from a mini kit at Creative Cottage - some lovely kits here and very reasonable. Thanks to Donna for introducing me to them!!! The Frame is from a Funky Fairys kit called A Chocolate Covered Christmas. The snowy paper is from the Jingle Jangles CD by Polks Doodles. The sentiment was a stamp from Craft UK called Santa and Pals.
I have decoupaged the christmas tree and put glitter around the outside. The button is from my stash and I stitched in onto the card with some pink fibres.
The other challenges I am entering are : -
Sassy Designs - her first challenge of Christmas,
Alphabet Challenge - D is for Decoupage,
Stampin B's Design - Christmas Card and
The Little Paper Shop - Use a digi stamp and an ordinary stamp (hope this qualifies).
As ever I really look forward to your thoughts.
Hugs
