Tatty Lily Easel Card

Morning, Today I am posting a card that I made using a Tatty Stamp Set, Drawn by Nikki Hall.

On super smooth card, I stamped the main image, Then around the edge I used a smaller stamps, flower stamp and leaf stamp to create a frame for the image. I also stamped, coloured and cut out some additional flowers to decoupage.

I cut out my design, adding a 5mm edge using my Brother Scan n Cut. For my mat I repeated the same cut with an extra 5mm border onto Ruby Red cardstock. I coloured my images with my alcohol markers and decoupaged the flowers.

I made an easel card base from Centura Pearl cardstock. I matted and layered onto the base with a gold satin finish card and on to that  some burgundy/gold oriental card. I wrapped a length of Burgundy wired ribbon and secured at the back of my gold card before securing it to my base.

Finally I made a ribbon bow from the same ribbon, as it is wired it is strong enough to also act as my stopper. I finished off with some roses which I made with some silk ribbon in the same colour and some wired pearls. I then assembled the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by, Hope you visit again very soon. Take care xx

A Doctor Who Easel Card For A Friend

Day Four, I have done really well keeping my Blog up to date. Hopefully people are liking what I am sharing.

I wanted to share this one today as I am fairly proud of it. I have a friend who is a great fan of Dr Who. So for his birthday I decided to make a Dr Who easel card to include all of the Doctors. Its quite a large card made with A3 Centura Pearl for the base card.

I imported the doctors into Serif Craft Artist and used a variety of frames around them. Then after cutting them out, I suspended across the back of the card using a construction weight acetate cut into an arc shape joining on the right hand side to the flat Tardis picture.

I then made a three dimensional Tardis which acted as a stopper along with a group picture of the Doctors. I printed a background paper which looked like the start of the universe for the background and made mats and layers from Black Pearlesant card. I hope you like the end result, I think it was well worth taking the time over this and he was very pleased.

I am entering this card into the challenge at Suzy Bee's.
