I've been busy paper crafting items for Christmas. Here's an easel that I've put on my shelf at www.wigglywoocraftemporium.co.uk. I like it so much that I really wanted to keep it.
Items used:- Large Pinflair easel
Paper from Tattered Lace magazine CD-Rom Vol. 2
Britannia Poinsettia dies
Britannia Ivy die
Tattered Lace Winter Wishes die (cut in gold and overlaid in red)
Pearls
Organza ribbon (tied using the Bowmaker)
The background is made from an embossing folder by Sheena Douglass. I applied Versamark to the embossing folder and used a piece of black card. When I had embossed the card the Versamark had transfered to the card between the embossed lines. I covered this with gold embossing powder and heat embossed it.
The tiger is a stamp, also by Sheena. I stamped it with black Staz-On and water-coloured with Spiced Marmalade and Forest Moss Distress Inks.
I folded a piece of card into a stepper card so that the tiger stands forward from the background.
Another beautiful image from a CD-Rom by Jayne Netley Mayhew.
I didn't need to add much to this card as the picture is stunning, and reminds me of this time of year. All I did was layer the image onto two mats, which drew out the colours in the image, and added a greeting.
