I made this little easel card with the floral damask stamp. I embossed the pattern with a malachite green embossing powder and then inked with Mown Grass, Peacock Feathers Distress Inks and Meadow Adirondack dye ink. I cut out the heart using the inner line of my heart die as a template and then cut out the easel with the same die.
I used the ornate scrollwork corner clear stamp as the stop for the easel. I finished off with the sentiment from the Pretty Poppies plate embossed in gold on green and carefully cut out and a little bird charm.
There are some gorgeous samples coming up from the Design Team over this month and do pop over and see the gorgeous coloured tag Glenda has posted on her blog here. Her lovely shading shows how you can add amazing dimension to these backgrounds.
Thanks for popping by!

Gorgeous easel card Elaine.
ReplyDeleteThis is outstanding Elaine, I just gulped when I saw this. The embossing gives terrific texture & your little bird charm looks quite at home echoing the metallic appearance of your embossed sentiment. I particularly like thew ay you have inked the heart so that the centre glows & there’s a real sense of dimensional rounding with the dark matting. The way the stop spreads beyond the edges of the card base catches the eye beautifully. Your positioning of the die so as to cut that particular part of the pattern is a lovely piece of designing as is the way you’ve picked out the stamp to use for the stop – mirroring the that little oval at the heart’s point. Hopefully I’m making sense – I just couldn’t type fast enough to keep up with my brain……… & excitement.

This card is you to a 'T' Elaine, with your love of greens, shading and romance. The easel card is a lovely shape, and the use of the little clear stamp as a stop is perfect. I love the addition of the little bird as well. Judith xx

This is stunning Elaine (and again in my favourite shades of green :D). The shading gives the effect of it being cushioned instead of flat which is lovely. Whoever gets this little beauty is going to be very pleased.
