Twisted Easel Card

Its nearly the weekend, YEY!

I have been travelling around for work this week so not had chance to do that much but here is a card I made using some of the items I had set aside from my crop last week.

Its a twisted easel card and there seem to be lots of them around lately so I cant take any credit for the main design.

The top flowers were done using the 'kissing' technique using Bella Toile and the Flower Accent stamps.  The plum coloured flowers underneath were made using the water spot technique.

To get the twisted shape for the card blank I took a piece of A4 card and trimmed off a 4" strip from the long length and scored it in half.  Then I measured 4" down from one side of the score line and scored from this point back to the main score line.  Once you crease and fold the two score lines you will get the twisted shape - simples!

Recipe
Cardstock = Pretty in Pink, Perfect Plum and Whisper White
Ink = Pretty in Pink, Perfect Plum
Stamps = Flower Accent, Bella Toile, tiny triple flower from Cottage Garden and Occasional Greetings.
Punches = Eyelet Border, Designer Label Large, 1 3/8 - 5/8 Oval Large.
Accessories = Basic Pearls, Whisper White Taffeta ribbon
I have seen double twisted easel cards too but haven't had the chance work out how they are done yet - may need to have a play this weekend!
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Bella Toile Tissue Box

Hi there!

Another busy week, lots of driving around - but its nearly the weekend Yaaaaaay!

Here is another tissue box cover.  I am still frantically making things for the craft fair next Sat (6th March).  I am just hoping that people come now LOL.

The stamp I used for this is huge (11.4 x 14.6 cm) but the detailing is absolutely incredible.  One thing I really like with SU stamps is that the rubber stamps are deeply etched, so you dont get parts of the image missing when you lift the stamp.  And with the size of these stamps that is something you DONT want!!!

I was thinking of colouring in some of the flowers and leaves but didnt want to spoil it, what do you think?

Recipe
Cardstock - Whisper White, Real Red.
Stamp sets - Bella Toile, Flight of the Butterfly.
Accessories - Real Red ribbon
Punches - Butterfly & Eyelet Border
Non SU - oval and scalloped oval die cuts.

Thanks for visiting.
