I thought I would make a easel card for the Digi Darla challenge this week and also combine it with the I ♥ ProMarkers who have a colour challenge on the go (got to be quick it closes in about 3 hours lol). Having just got some new Spellbinder dies, and only having made easel cards using a die cutter before I thought I would give the Circle Grand Nestabilites a try instead and I am really pleased with the outcome .
I designed the patterned DP which was cut with Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities Scallop Circles along with the yellow layer. The digi is Rose Bouquet with Cutout by Digi Darla. After adding a sentiment to the digi, I over-layed it on the DP and printed. Two further copies of the digi were also printed. After colouring with Promarkers I fussy cut and attach the middle layer with foam tape and the top layer of one rose and sentiment area also attached with foam tape. The butterflies were cut with yellow and black card using Cherry Lyn Designs Mimi Butterflies. To finish off I use Spellbinders Ornamental Tag 1 on white paper and coloured with Promarker Cool Aqua to match the top sentiment.

Oh, pretty card Treasure ..... and what a constructive way to spend that 'waiting in' time ..... bet it helped to keep your stress levels down. Obviously this card is not for me in the future .... :-) you make 'loved one's' cards so very personal to each of us and you know I don't like yellow .... my roses are all pink and white!!!! Roses, butterflies and such a lovely card cut though do make this card very striking and appealing so well done you xxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely! I too am guilty of the 'pushing chores aside' but hey, we all need to nurture our creative sole and not feel guilty about it, right?
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along at the Digi Darla Challenge Blog :)
