Good morning blog friends and visitors....
When our grandson was a toddler we would ask him what his favourite colour was, he always said orange, it always made me smile especially as he was only 2-3 years old. So when I see an abundance of orange I have happy memories and that leads me onto this week's card give-away. An orange and black twisted easel card....
I used a 6"sq white card base and scored the front of the card, diagonally, corner to corner to create the twist
On the inside of the card and cut smaller panels of orange, black and orange. These were adhered together and glued onto the card
I used a wiggly scallop oval die (if anyone has the correct name I would appreciate knowing it) to die cut and emboss the black card to sit on the inside of the card
On a piece of orange card I stamped the sentiment and used the next smaller die from the above set to die cut and emboss it. As this was the main 'stopper' for the easel the orange card had black mounting foam glued to the back prior to placing onto the base
To cover the easel part I used a smaller panel of black card then orange. I also embossed the orange card. These were then adhered to the card
On white watercolour card I stamped the flower using a distress oxide ink. I then used two watercolour pencils to colour the whole image. For the centre of the flower I used a ProMarker pen to create the seeds
Another unknown Spellbinders's die was used for the black background card, die cut and embossed then once I had fussy cut the image it was adhered it to the black card
As there was more of a gap on the right side of the flower I added a few gems to that side only. I don't have an orange in
the NUVO Crystal Drops, nor do I have orange gems so I coloured white, flat back pearls using a ProMarker
There is plenty of room to write your message, either behind the easel part of underneath it when you lift it up

Stunning!! Orange is not my colour, but I was recently asked to make a card & box using orange/yellow!! Out of my comfort zone - but I was chuffed with the results!! Haven't made an easel card forages - I find the recipient doesn't know how to display it!
ReplyDeleteLove the flower stamp June - looks a lovely size!
I believe the dies are called 'Deckle Edge' dies, but I prefer your description!!
Thanks for sharing!
I'm pleased you like the card Sue. Orange is not my choice either but I do like it teamed with black. I can imagine you card and box was gorgeous
DeleteSheena's stamp is approx. 6"x4" measuring from furthest points and there are 5 stamps in the set
Thank you for the correct name of my wiggly scallop dies too!
