This week I have the honor of being a guest designer for Creative Creases Challenge!! It is an anything goes challenge as long as you use more than one fold. Today, I created an easel card:
My youngest daughter takes violin lessons, so I created this card to give to her teacher along with a small gift. This may be the very first time I have used this stamp, so I was excited to get it inked up!

Stamps: Paper Trey Ink "Rhythm & Soul" violin; Verve "Peace on Earth" outside sentiment and "Beyond Measure" inside sentiment

Wow, what a pretty easel card, love the background papers and the image against the pretty red ribbon... love it all. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble, Colorful Options, Jingle Belles and Creative Creases.
ReplyDeleteYour winter/Christmas card is amazing. Not only is easel a lovely card shape, I absolutely love the colour scheme you've chosen for your project. The natural colours give such a cosy feeling, and the motifs couldn't be more perfect for the season: great choice of papers, poinsettia and pearls, and - last but not least - the violin combined with the text of a Christmas classic. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge.
