Birthday Easel Card for the Fancy Fold challenge PCC304

Hi everyone,

Today I decided to play along with the Fancy Fold challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Easel cards are my favourite style to make and I based this one on an Eyeshadow palette for a teenage girl.

Here's my card





I've used cardstock of Rose Red, Whisper White, Basic Black and Merry Merlot for the base of my card and many other scraps of card for all the circles to resemble different colours of eyeshadow.  The patterned paper is from the pack called Painted with Love.

Here's the palette that I took inspiration from for my card.

I've taken various other photos including closeups to show off the card better so you can see how it sits.




















Can't wait to see all the other entries at the Paper Craft Crew.  Thanks so much for stopping by today and leaving me a comment.  I love hearing from you.

Have a great day.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great 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
