PTI Swap - Easel Card


Hello ~

Tonight I thought I would share my "non-traditional" card for the PTI Lover's Swap on SCS. I created some easel cards, using a great tutorial over on SCS. For my swap I used a color combination that is totally out of my comfort-zone, Melon Mambo & Kiwi Kiss. I use Kiwi Kiss a lot, but my pack of Melon Mambo is quite full.  The floral images are from the stamp set "Four of A Kind" which is was only available at the 2011 Summer CHA Show. This happens to be my favorite floral set right now. I just love the two-step stamping of the leaves and flowers.....Super easy!  The sentiment is from "Everyday Button Bits".

Here's also a photo from the side - so you can see the "easel" effect. It's a really fun card to make (and the tutorial explains how to make it so well)

Thanks for stopping by ~

Hugs ~ LJ
