Hi Everyone...I know you are not used to seeing so many posts from me in such a short time, but I guess I am trying to catch up. I have been seeing these easel cards around for quite awhile now, and I have never had the nerve to give one a try. Always thinking that something is going to be far more work than it really is. These are surprisingly easy to make, so if you have been reluctant, take the plunge and give it a try. They are no harder than any other card, and actually, the change is refreshing now and then.
This card was made with many items from the McMahon Five Designs Store. I LOVE that store!! They have everything to create such pretty and unique projects
The image is part of the D'Amour Allure Collection from the M5D store and is printed on Neenah white paper. The fence is punched onto wood paper, and many of the flowers and gems are all items that can be found at the M5d store.
I added some flower soft at the base of the fence to brighten it up and make it look as if those flowers are just bursting happily between the fence posts.
She looks like she is thinking happy thoughts about something.

Hi Carolyn,
Great easel card! I was afraid to make one for awhile too, but when I finally did, I found it was really easy and I very much enjoyed it! Your image is so sweet and I love your Spellbinders die cuts and that paper lace. Your new blog design is wonderful too! Great job on trying a new technique. So happy you could have fun with us at Our Creative Corner this week.
