A Twisted Easel!

3 lovely new releases at Pink Petticoat this week. The cutest Li'l Baby Buggy Image, Tiny {New Baby} Sentiments and  'Organics' Kraft Paper Pack.  I've used them all to make my version of a twisted easel card.

Here's how I made the card base.  I cut a piece of cardstock 13 x 27 cm and scored it along the long side at 13cm.  I wanted the 1cm overhang so that the paper frill could be seen when the card is closed.

Then scored diagonally across the card front.

DCM - Easel Does It!

The dare this week over at DCM is

Easel Does it

They are so very popular at the moment but I'm hoping at least some of you will be up for my extra "sting in the tail" to this Dare - I don't want it to be too easy, you know....what I'd really love is to see what type of shape (other than a square) you can come up with using the basic Easel card idea.

Here's my circle easel card, much easier than I first thought, especially if you start with a circle card blank lol!  Sorry about the sunny photo, although I'm not complaining.  Loads to do today, our old conservatory is coming down tomorrow ready for a nice shiny new one, just got to figure out where to take my photos while we're without it.  Tfl x
