Today I chose to do an Easel Card. Wow it really was fun and easy! This is the front or top of the card which I used the sketch from MMSC31
Close up of images: Christmas Belle from Digital Doodling and Christmas Mouse from PB Holly Jolly Collection. Colored both with copics and used pearly sparkle jelly glitter on Belle's muff and coat as well as mouse's hat. Crystal lace stickles used on Belle's skates and X-mas red and green stickles used on holly in her hair and the present mouse is offering her. Added stardust stickles to outline image :-) Secured with ribbon. Mouse is popped up with foam tape for dimension and if you look close at font view you can actually see his shadow when I took picture.
Below is a full view of my easel card and the ornament I made to go with the card that I will be giving to a friend for christmas! The ornament is a piece of round chipboard covered with Archiver's cardstock in green and Layered with a stamped image of Magnolia's Snowy Circle glistened with stardust and crystal stickles. You can barely see it but I dobbered Soft blue ink onto the white snowy circle also. Belle is slightly smaller in size than on the card but colored and jazzed up the same way :) Belle is popped up with foam tape. Threaded the ornament with the same ribbon I used on the card and secured with a metal snowflake slide!!
Below is the bottom or inside view of card. BG Eskimo Kisses dp used again (reverse side). Sentiment punched with SU sizzlets tag and popped up with foam tape for dimension and secured with ribbon. Added the holly leaf border on bottom as finished follow through :D
Side view of my very first easel card!!!! Very satisfied with results :-)
GOD BLESS
