Good morning all,
Well, i have a new addition to my card family today, my first ever 'easel' card! i have always admired easel cards but until now i have given them a wide berth. To me, they looked way too complicated so to be honest, i didnt even give them a second thought however last night i decided tonights the night, i gotta give it a go and several hours later i made my first easel card. If i am honest, i am quite proud of my attempt but i have made it into a Birthday card for my best friend (my Mum) so i cannot share it with you all yet! It is completely different from anything else i have done from the design, the stamping, the colours etc. All will be revealed towards the end of March!
However, you know me, i cannot leave things alone in my crafty room so this morning i made another one! Totally different from last nights, more my usual style. Here it is.... my 1st easel card on blog land!

Wow! I wish my early easel cards had turned out this well, Jill. Darling Tilda image and I'm loving that flowery paper!
ReplyDeleteWow, Jill, this is GORGEOUS! I have yet to make an easel card, myself! I tend to stay away from fancy folds even though Beate makes them looks SO easy! This really did turn out FABULOUS! LOVE the papers and the LO!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day!

ReplyDeletePlease consider turning off word verification it puts people off leaving comments and also makes commenting hard for DT members... I have had to generate the words about 7 times to find something I could read :(
