Easel Card

Hello everyone, Thanks for a wonderful response to our blog hop...I loved that so many of you stopped by to wish Shalini for her birthday...made it extra special...Thank you to everyone who stopped by!
This time around I'm trying Easel card...phew!! I have never made an easel card ever...never ever..not once in my 6 yrs of crafting!!

For my easel card...I decided to skip all the cutting and let my die-cut machine do all the work...here's the card..
I used Lily pad challenge sketch as a guide to make this card...There are 3 shades of brown on this card. The brown base, light and dark brown for the mats..and of course the glittery brown.
The glitter strips were cut free hand...the middle strip popped up on foam for dimension and for the owl to hide in. The OWL is a sticker from Itsy bitsy.
The lightest brown has been inked on the edges with Vintage photo...white gel pen for the faux stitching...Hero Arts small alphabets to create the sentiment..and pearl outliner to create the faux pearls.

The easel stands up on the sentiment strip and the two butterflies...cut using Martha Stewart punches and tied with Maraschino twine....

 Linking this to Colours Dekor - Spookes & sparkles!
So that's all about this card...do tell me what you think of it...or if you have any questions...shoot me an email!!

    I have never imagined an owl can be so cute till I started blogging! But, this one looks so sweet peeking himself from that glitter branch! This looks like a story book page:) And those MS punch rocks. gives so neat effect:)
