Paper Players #192 Washi Challenge - Butterfly Easel

Hello Everyone,

In Australia it's ANZAC day today.  A day of rememberance for the Men and Women who served this country.  At the bottom of my post today I have a picture of our memorial.  The girls attended the Dawn service with their Grandparents and we attended the Street March and 11am memorial service.  Anna was also involved in the march as a representative of the High School and the School Band who played at the Memorial Service.  It's been a busy day, up since 4am.

I'm participating in another challenge with my card today for the Paper Players.



I've chosen to use the Gingham Garden Washi Tape on a Whisper White background embossed with the Stylish Stripes embossing folder to make an Easel Card with my Beautiful Butterflies die.  Here is a closer look at my layered and embossed butterfly.



This is my Easel card with the embossed and washi tape background on the front and a Mother's Day greeting to support my Easel design as the anchor with Layered Labels.



The cardstock used is Melon Mambo, Whisper white and Island Indigo.  The top yellow butterfly in the layers is punched with the Elegant Butterfly punch from Watercolor wonder designer paper and a couple of tiny butterflies are also on the card but with the Beautiful Wings embosslits from gold foil.

I think this is a bright happy card.  I don't use all those colours in combination very often.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this one.  Have a wonderful day.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
