Tuesday Taggers + Little Red Wagon + Crafty Catz 25 + Pile it On Challenges

Hello, I have not been around for a week or so due to lots of end of school term stuff, and finally this week have had a couple of hours to make an easel card. I keep seeing these on the web, and thought I would have a go myself.




I have used a card base from my local craft shop Flutterby Crafts, and the dark purple paper was a gift from a craft friend. Lilac Bazill and pale pearlescent card stamped with a lovely swirly flourish from Waltzingmouse Stamps was layered onto the card.



Then using Nestabilities Blossom die cut two flowers to make a medallion.




Using another image from the same stamp set, I stamped and coloured with promarkers the vintage patterned circle. I then highlighted some of the scroll ends with stickles Starry Night. Layered this onto the blossom, then stamped a sentiment from WMS Say it with Style set onto some lilac bazill, and popped that into the centre using some foam dimensionals.




Punched some butterflies using a Martha Stewart punch in glittery lilac and white card, added some white pearls, buttons and some bling and, Ta-daaa!! I love it!

I am entering this card into a few challenges;
