Sorry I'm still not getting round visiting - I'm sure it won't be long. I did however want to post this card which is for Crafty Ann's Challenge #9 - 'Celebrate You Creativity'- something that takes you out of your comfort zone! Try a technique or product or fold/design that you've been shying away from or haven't done/used as often as you would like.
I've gone for an easel card as I haven't made one to date and thought I'd better before they go out of fashion. The flower image is from Crafty Ann's shop and is coloured with Promarkers and has some seed beads to make the flower centre. The sentiment is computer generated the the ribbon from my stash. The bp is from Crafty Ann's Abstract collection and I have used one of my new MS punches to make the mat and the border. I've edged them with ink to define them a little.
The bp on the base is Funky Fairies and the stamped image is a freebie from Craft Stamper magazine - again coloured with Promarkers. Corners and scalloped mat cut with my Cuttlebug.
Thanks very much for visiting and the kind words I've had since my last post. I'm fine but not letting on yet until I've spoken to some of my family (don't want them to find out on here - that includes you Terrie - I'll call soon.)

I hope you'll make more easel cards now Beryl because you've made a fabulous job of this one. I love how you've created the mat from the bp and the MS punches and I also like the flower at just two layers too. Thank you for doing your DT card for this challenge, it is appreciated my friend.

Beryl, What a lovely card especially for your first easel card - I doubt it will be your last!!!
Thank you for allowing me to be a Guest Designer this month. I have really enjoyed it – even if the second challenge well and truly took me out of my comfort zone. It’s been nice to see how everyone else interpreted the challenge and I’ve kept saying “why didn’t I think of that?”. Thanks for the opportunity.
Take care and my best wishes, Kym xxx
Hi Beryl, fabulous card and I love the digi image from Crafty Ann's. Beautifully coloured and a super easel card.
Back online again.

Really cute Beryl. I have only made one easel card before and should try another one really before I forget how to do it. Hope the house sells quickly for you. Good luck with the craft packing. Lol!!!! Cathy xxxx
