This weeks challenge is to make an easel card. There's a big clue in the title, huh?
They are so very popular at the moment but I'm hoping at least some of you will be up for my extra "sting in the tail" to this Dare - I don't want it to be too easy, you know....what I'd really love is to see what type of shape (other than a square) you can come up with using the basic Easel card idea.
My first ever easel card and it took way longer than I though it would (not used to so much measuring I think, even after selectively ignoring the part about a different shape...!), it turned out like this;
I used;
Bazzill cardstock
Webster's Pages and Prima Marketing papers
Lots of flowers (!)
Prima Marketing trim
Vinnie Pearce butterflies from 2Peas
Hand Stitching and inking
TFL!

Fab as always Jo. The first time I did an easel card it also took me ages to work out the measurements and how to put it together. (I've since adapted them for a quick fix.)
I can't believe your stitching is by hand, it's so neat. I tried machine stitching a card yesterday (also for the DCM dare) and ended up thinking I had broken my sewing machine which I've only had week. Think I'll be 'pen' stitching from now on as it's a lot safer!.
