Sweet Stamps Easel Challenge

Hooray, it’s Tuesday!  That means what?

A new Sweet Stamps challenge.

This could possibly be my FAVORITE challenge!

Easel Card

I love making these cards.

The concept is to make the top of the card so it opens and stays propped up, like an easel.

I mounted my whole easel card on a larger card base and this is the inside of my card.

Lots of layers, lots of dimension to this card.

I simply adore the way it all came together.

I used the following stamps from Sweet Stamps.com –

Rose & Leaf Bold

Thank You Fancy

Elegant card with Authentique Paper & Stamps

Today’s card is made from all the patterns and papers from the Free Bird series called BLUSH.

I have mentioned before how to utilize both side of Authentique Papers and want to remind you that the Free Bird series, is a breeze to separate the 2 side from each other.

All my layered strips are just 1 ply of the paper.

One again I have a final product that almost looks like I made it with fabric.

The BLUSH from the Free Bird series was a perfect complement to the chandelier in the Authentique Paper set called Glowing Hours.

The phrase “Today is your day” is a NOTEABLE from the UNCOMMON line.

This has been Jeannie from The Polka Cabana with today’s card.
