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!
