Easel Cards


I saw other people doing these cards and thought they looked gorgeous and easy so I decided to try my hand at them. They didn't turn out so bad.


This card was the first one I made. I used Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Four for the label. The phrase is a stamp that I have from Inkadinkado's autumn stamps. I found the pumpkins I found on a coloring page on the internet. I used my prismacolor pencils and baby oil to color them. Then I used Glossy Accents on the leaves and Scattered Straw Distress Stickles on the bottom of the pumpkins.






The card below I used my Swiss Dots CB embossing folder for the background strip. I used my Lattice Nestabilities because I just love how beautiful those are. The apple basket was another image I found on a coloring page site. I just love those pages. I used my prismacolor pencils and baby oil to color it. I used Burgundy stickles on the apples in the basket. I used Eucalyptus Stickles on the leaves. I used Walnut Stain Distress stickles on the branch. I used my tags from Spellbinders for the label. The ribbon is one I found on sale at Michaels as was the big crystal brad. The paper is just cute with all the apples. It was part of an autumn pack that I found on sale at Michaels as well.





















As you can see, I rarely pay much attention to what paper I use from where. I have so much of it and take it out of the packs so quickly that I hardly ever remember. I do know that I have been purchasing Recollections cardstock because I really like the colors they have out now. You can purchase it at Michaels.

Well toodles for today, people!
