I promised to post this card a couple of days ago...but life just has a way of stopping you from getting the job done sometimes. Well I'm up and at it early today just so I can get my card up to share with you.
We are all set here in Canada for a long weekend, now who doesn't love a long weekend. It's also the weekend to get all the annuals planted in the garden..only problem for me is I still have to go purchase these annuals. But that's all part of the fun isn't it!
Now onto my card share for today. As I mentioned a couple of days ago, I taught a class last weekend on Easel cards, if you haven't had a chance to try them please do they are just so much fun to make. I create mine in 6 x 6 just because I love having all the extra space to work with.
On this card I used Fluer Anya from The Greeting Farm, I used her a couple posts back on another card I really love this image, it's also one of my daughter's favourites.
I chose bright summery colours for this card combination. The image is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Prism Simply Smooth cardstock. I love using Prism to stamp on when I'm colouring with Copic's because it bleeds VERY little and I always seem to be very happy with the end result. That's would also be considering my colouring skills are on par that day...LOL!
There is a lip on the bottom of the cardstock, just for a boarder punch. A friend of mine created a card doing this so I totally cased her idea as I thought it was very neat.
This is a list of materials for this card:
Patterned Paper: Kaiser Craft Spirograph P347 Rosette & P345 Harmonic
Flowers: Kaiser Craft P617 Lemon Lime, P618 Lime
Other Stuff: Kaiser Craft Rhinestones SB762 Silver, Spellbinders Big Scalloped Circles Small & Large, Martha Stewart Boarder Punches, Large & Small oval punches, Stickles
Cardstock: Bazzill Sprout, Yellow & Prism Simply Smooth
Skin: E000, E01, E00
Dress, Inside Flowers & Border: YG01, YG03, YG05
Hair: E31, E35, E37
Flowers: Y11, Y13, Y15
Here is a view of the inside:

Love the fresh green scheme for this image. Tropical yet with bit of breeze. You did a pretty layout design on this easel card Lora. Love it!
