Have I Had Fun??

You bet!! I'm GDT for Bunny Zoe's this month - whoooohooo which meant that I got to play with a stamp of my choice (thanks Nikki - greatly appreciated). I'm sure most people would've found that an easy task, but not me!! It took ages to choose a stamp from the huge selection that are stocked, but I finally settled on the gorgeous Magnolia Butterfly Dreams  - Beautiful Tilda. The next challenge for me was to create my card. The theme this month is Easel Cards and whilst I lurvee easel cards, I wanted to make something a bit different, so after much ummming and aggghhing I finally settled upon this easel card. Although it took me a while to make, I really did have loads of fun  - I just hope everyone else likes it!! :)


The card topper was created using multiple copies of a digi stamp which was coloured with Promarkers and then decoupaged. Glossy Accents were added to the red parts of the toadstools and white enamel accents to the spots. I drew the flagstones that have been used for the path and again decoupaged them. The grass is Crafter's Moss and the flowers are part of a heather spray that has been cut down.


Tilda has been stamped multiple times using Memento ink and then coloured with Promarkers and decoupaged. I stamped her wings onto Fantasy Film and then added some Stickles to the edges. She has then been mounted onto a "faux easel platform" and I've used the stopperless easel mechanism to hold her in place.

Tools
Embossing Ball Tool

Materials
Magnolia Tilda
Mushroom House
Promarkers
Martha Stewart Triple Butterfly Punch
Glossy Accents
White Enamel Accents
