It's that time again for another cardmaking! Presenting today's creation is a vintage easel card. I love making easel card but vintage, very rare, lol. Once again Let's Scrap offers weekly challenge this week and I managed to create a card between my hectic schedule...here's my take on the sketch.
Lately I have become addicted to digi images after been stamping all the while. My sister Lili has been telling me over a thousand times {from last year} about digi images but I said, "...nah, not now, I like stamping better!" I need something different however {to keep me alive, lol} so this week has watched me in extravaganza mojo browsing for digi images {way to go and I'm hooked!}. I downloaded the butterfly image from Free Vintage Digital Stamp. I just love it! A good friend of mine Desire Fourie has offered the freebie sentiment for download on her blog {thanks}.
Here's the sketch DebbyD designed for 4-18-12 weekly challenge.

Isn't that awesome? Now you know why I go vintage...smile.
I used Copic Markers to fill in the butterfly.
I sew the ribbon with my trusty sewing machine {always loving it!}. The flower paper is just amazing and easy to make {thanking Desire again for sharing!}. I will have the tutorial coming up on my next post...stay tune...
Materials used: Kaisercraft (patterned papers, ink, Sweet Nothing Collectable), Ranger's disstress ink, Close To My Heart (brads), Copic Markers, others from my stash
I hope you will have a great day today and don't forget to remember to create your own happiness your own way. Hugs!
Beautiful card Asmah, I love how you colored the butterfly, the pleating of the ribbon and the cute circle embellishments. Great job on the sketch.
ReplyDeleteThanks Betty :) I'm still learning and try to sharpen my Copic coloring skill. I guess by the time I master it, all the ink are gone =D
DeleteWhat a gorgeous easel creation. I love the pleated ribbon effect and that butterfly is just beautiful. So glad you could make use of the quarter-fold circle tutorial - they look great on your card.

Thanks Desire :) It was so much fun making them; even my girls made some their own!
DeleteDesire introduced me to "easel cards" during the Let's Scrap Leap Around the World Blog Hop in Febrary, and I love them. I have made two since that introduction! Yours is actually beautiful and a "cut above" as it contains stitching...the ultimate embellishment! My hat is off to you, my dear friend!
ReplyDeleteI learnt the folding skill from Beate Johns at Splitcoast Stampers site last year but only recently I made them {two so far, lol}. Whenever I scrap, I keep saying no stitching this time but I can't resist the temptation =D. Your comment boosted up my motivation Everest high! Thanks Kay!
DeleteReally, really beautiful. Huh! Now you're hooked on digi. Way to go girl.
