Because I Care Easel

hi again,

I taught a card I had made last year with Because I Care on Monday night and then with my extra coloured pieces I decided to make another twisted Easel card. I made 2 actually so here they are.

This one I think needs a butterfly or something on the right hand side.

 this is close up of the painted flower. I did 3 and layered them. I used the daffodil delight marker for the centres and Concord Crush reinker for all the other colours. You just need to water down the ink to get the colour you want.

 I used Old Olive for the leaves and to mat the main piece with.

I am off to Melbourne in the morning and have been doing some research on places to go. We are hiring a car for our second week and plan to see some of the country in Victoria. I'm finally getting excited about this trip. I'm sure Convention will be fabulous as usual. I will post while away whenever I can. 

have a great weekend

Another Twisted Easel Card

Hi again, 

thank you so much for your encouraging comments on my bog hop post. I taught that card and this one that I am showing you today at my stamp club. Everyone enjoyed making these cards. 

My second card I used my favourite rose from Fifth Avenue Floral. I embossed it with white embossing powder on Pink Pirouette. I managed to knock my whole container of embossing powder on the floor as I was demonstrating, but without saying anything leaned over and got a new pot of it out of my drawer. I was pleased with myself for not stressing about the spilt powder.

Then using a paintbrush and reinker I shaded the areas under each petal. I used both Pink Pirouette and Pretty in Pink for shading and then used Whisper White to add a few highlights.I embossed the white background piece with Manhattan Floral embossing folder.

thanks for stopping by again. I hope to show you another twisted easel card this week.
