My first easel cards

Yes, I know everybody has been making them for ages: That's why it's taken me so long - I was sick of seeing them! So you'd think after all the inspiring examples I've seen I could come up with some super duper ones? Well, these are simple ones but I do love the old PaperMania 'Sweet Nothings' papers ...
First with a Sarah Kay stamp which I'm entering for Kaboodle Doodle challenge #30 'Celebrate Spring'
and the second one with a Penny Black stamp which I'm entering for A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge 'Furry Friends' and the PaperPlay challenge to use a stamp and bling (I 'stickled' lots of highlights and the flower centres, which I hope shows on the photo)
and of course I'm entering the pair for Daring Cardmakers 'Easel does it' challenge.

  2. It's so pretty! And now you've made your first, you'll have to see if you can come up with one for the "advanced" DCM challenge and make a shaped one too!
