Rose Wonder Twisted Easel Card

Hello and sorry for the absence!  But here's a little card to get your creative juices flowing:

 I've used the Stampin' Up! Rose Wonder dies to cut out the roses and leaves and they are freestanding abover the twisted easel just using tiny bits of tombow glue.  The card base is cut from a piece of A4 so is 5.5" square. The gorgeous paper is the new Pop of Pink Designer Series Paper.  Isn't it gorgeous.  I just had to have it seeing that I love pink so much.  Just noticed it is Helen Signatured pink and green again. I can never tire of that combo.

You can see a bit of the 3D nature from the side view. I'm entering this card into a challenge on Michelle Last's blog.  I'd love it if you would go vote for your favourites. If it is mine then even better ;-)

Hope you love it as much as I do. Now who has a birthday coming up?

Absolutely Fabulous Red and White Flowers

The sentiment 'Absolutely Fabulous' was just made for this over-the-top glamorous card:

 This is a twisted easel card made with one of my many Craftwork Cards goody bags.  The flowers are just held together with teeny tiny amounts of PVA tacky glue. That's all they need!  Just decide how they will join and then add a smidgen with a cocktail stick. Amazing! This is the side view showing the construction.

The leaves and butterfly are trusty Martha Stewart punches, and the antennae lovely Karen gave to me!  Here's a view from above to show the sentiment:

Now I need to pick one of my absolutely fabulous friends to send this to. I did a purple version of this card some time ago. I purposely didn't look at the previous card so it wouldn't be a straight copy.  Now I can't decide which one I prefer!

I've another cake creation coming  up, and some more floral cards and fancy boxes so watch this space! Hopefully it'll mean you'll be seeing me once again in blogland and I really hope I get around to visiting some blogs and making comments again.  I've missed seeing what amazing creations all you fabulous crafters have been making, but I'm still getting back on my feet after a health setback in the summer. But the approaching Christmas season is getting my creative juices running again :-)

Grape and Grey

I must admit I am loving these twisted easel designs, especially when combining them with 'off the page' elements like these purple flowers.  This card has been made from a Craftwork Cards goody bag in grape and grey, which takes out all the work of matching papers and embellishments.  Here's the view from the top so you can see a bit better how the card is held upright.

Hope you like it!

Also from the same kit I made the following 'basic' card to be added to the box!  Again all the items are from Craftwork Cards.

Twisted Easel Card

This was a new type of card for me - a twisted easel. The image of the girl is a Greetings Farm stamp, coloured with Copics and Promarkers. The image has been layered using Nesties labels 1. Not sure where the paper is from. The corners are punched with a Martha Stewart punch. I was actually really pleased with the how the colours came together (finally!) for this card - it took me longer than you think! It was one of those cards that seemed to take ages to get the colours to work together.
