I did it; made my first easel card. It only took me two attempts. Perhaps its making the cards so late that does it to me. This card is for my February Grab Bag Swap. I know I'm late but in my defence, my March cards are done.
Each month the hostess sends six copies of one image, with matching sentiments, DP and embellishments. We are to make four different cards and mail one out to each member of our group. I always seem to struggle to get started and then once I get into it, I'm quite disappointed to run out of supplies and images. It's such a great way for me to get out of my comfort zone. Otherwise I find I end up making the same cards over and over.
This card fits the following challenges:
Lily of the Valley - Easel Card
Crafty Ann - New fold or Technique
Stamp Something - Something Girly. I'm certainly not giving this to DH!
Stampavie - Spring
By the Cute and the Girly - Spring is in the Air
Crafty Calendar Challenge - Flower Power
Craft Challenge - Mothers Day/Flowers
This is so beautiful Christine and very elegant. It's hard to believe that it's your first easel card - I think you'll be making more now. Thank you for making Crafty Ann's one of your challenges.
