A card I made for the Simply Stampin' colour combo challenge to use Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade, Baja Breeze and Very Vanilla.
I decided to make an easel card as they are a good way to show off patterned papers. I made the card from Crumb Cake CS and it measures 5 1/4" (13.5 cms) square. I stamped the leafy flourish in Crumb Cake ink and the flower head made from butterflies in Baja Breeze ink. I've added some Dazzling Diamonds for a touch of sparkle. I sponged the edges of the Very Vanilla panel with Crumb Cake ink. I stamped 3 small Poppy Parade butterflies, cut them out, glued them to the panel just in the centres so I could fold the wings up and I drew in antennae with a Crumb Cake marker. I attached a strip of Baja Breeze CS and tied some Crumb Cake taffeta ribbon around the card in a knot. I love how the 'Just for you' sentiment looks stamped with the circle of butterflies - I've popped the circle up to act as the 'stop' for my easel.

Beautiful! I love the balance you achieved with the colors of the paper - each element compliments the other so well. I'm inspired to try my hand at making an easel card now.
