size: 5"w x 7"h

Created: October 24, 2015
Modified:

Love making easel cards... I had this idea in the back of my mind for a while and finally got around to doing it again... I used a, eraser cut down to a 3/4" square to create the border using "Koi Coloring Brush Pens"

The rubber stamp sentiment and quotes are by Quietfire Design  

 ("Sleeping Under a Quilt..."); (Home Congratulations set" 5pce set); Day: ("Valentine's Day Love set" 8pce set); ("Happy Birthday Plain and Simple" 7pce set) 

  

Scored and folded my easel structure from green textured cardstock. Cut another piece of green cardstock for my front layer. Adhered a piece of Sari ribbon vertically to the left side.

Cut a piece of Cold Press 90# watercolor paper to 4 x 6" and used the smooth side. Used the markers on my craft sheet, misted with water, pressed my eraser square into the wetness and stamped along the edges of the paper, repeating the process as needed. When dry added the faux stitching using a Copic MultiLiner. Adhered a piece of mauve toned lace to the back along the edge. Adhered to my green front piece, then on to my easel front.

Stamped the quote using Distress mini pads ("Mustard Seed", "Fired Brick" and "Mowed Lawn"), stamped and clear embossed.

Adhered all my floral elements (all from previous quilling sessions...). The roses are Impression Obsession Heirloom Hybrid Rose die set. Added some of my melted perlé flowers, and added a green/silver Sari ribbon bow.

On the floor: Stamped the quote - minus the word "home", replacing it with the word "Day" using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossing. Die cut with a Spellbinders circle die set, sponging some yellow and red around the edges. adhered to floor with 3D foam tape.

The flowers on the floor are Elizabeth Craft Designs "Bunch of Flowers 4" set die cut from Soft Finish cardstock and colored with Pan Pastels, then tooled. Adhered to floor intertwined with pearl flourishes.

Stamped the "Happy Birthday" with the black and clear embossed on a piece of white cardstock. Trimmed down, scored and folded, and die cut the ends with Spellbinders "Fancy Tags" die set, then adhered to floor to act as my stopper.

Added some large pearl trim
