Crafty Ann's Challenge #18


Well it's time for challenge #18 already at Crafty Ann's. I just don't know where the time is going. This time the challenge is to make an easel card - any shape except plain square or oblong. So, I thought I'd try an octagonal card using my Easyscore box board and as you'll see when you visit the challenge blog - I'm not the only one to use that shape. The image is a WOJ stamp and she's seated on Crafty Ann's Easy Chair stamp which I have resized in MCS. I also used MCS to combine the stamp with one of Crafty Ann's polished stone effect bp's. A very easy way to colour in and giving the easy chair a slightly textured look - which doesn't show up in the piccie. I've used one from a sheet of birthday tickets for the greeting and some punched flowers to finish off. The bp on the base and behind the easy chair are from my stash.
I do hope you'll join in, and remember, goodies from Crafty Ann's digi store for one lucky entry.
Thanks very much for visiting today.

I love this Beryl. The delicacy is wonderful and using one of the bps to 'colour' the easy chair works brilliantly. Wonderful work.

I really love this card Beryl. The bp, flowers and foliage all look so delicate and the pretty image on the chair (brilliant technique on the chair) works so well. Simply beautiful.

Hi Beryl

What a lovey shaped easel card, so different.

Sorry not been by in a while, been really poorly and still only creeping round compared with my normal frenetic activity.
