Traditional easel card

What a beautiful bright morning today in Devon. No sign of the snow that the South East has had. Just dropped No 1 dragon at school for her last day!!! No 2 dragon is downstairs with hubby who has finished work for the holidays too.
Her is another easel card - just love making them and this time with a Magnolia stamp I bought from a fellow crafter - thank you Sue.

This picture shows the easel shape and the next one shows the front better.

So I have gone for traditional colours. I coloured my Tilda with water colour crayons and a bit of glitter on her furry bits!! Here is a close up of the image to show the glitter better.

I have used my one and only Nestability for the scalloped circles cut from gold miri card and a piece of paper from the Artylicious CDRom Seasons Greetings. The paper on the bottom is also from here - finally I am using this CD - have had it since it was first released and hardly used it - but since joining in with challenges I have used it several times - yeh!! Under the scallops is a piece of torn vellum from my stash. I used the sketch from Midnight Madness shown below. These

are always fantastic but I find them harder to do - don't get me wrong that is good - they are challenges after all!!

The sentiment was from a card pack from Hot Off The Press called Paper Pizzazz sheets - Christmas. I have just mounted it on gold miri card and used it as the stopper to keeo the card up. the other embellishments are some buttons from my stash and some lace I won in a candy from Martine - thanks hun.

Now unfortunately I missed a couple of challenges because I didn't manage to post this yesterday but things conspired against me - like they do!!!!
