I have a good friend at work who is probably my biggest crafting cheerleader! She inspires me, encourages me and in the big picture keeps me going and improving! As a small Thank You, I wanted to make an easel card using the FS bubble...well if I ever learn to plan correctly perhaps I'd be doing better....but as I started to create what I had in my mind, none of the parts fit...the bird and flowers were too big....so suddenly the project took on a life of it's own. I was determined to use the products that I bought so I had to build up the card....so instead of a traditional easel card....it became more like an "easel shadowbox" - LOLOL - I built it up and put ribbon and lace around the outside to cover the buildup - talk about improvising --- actually it looks better IRL!....but maybe I will know better for next time! I put a variety of Flowersoft inside the bubble too...so it's a bit of a shaker too....it's all happening!
The Dome is layered around the outside with Elements - Bark flavor (and of course one of the flowers fell off in the corner and I didn't notice till I was done picture taking - fixed it before I gave it)
Inside the "card" I had also put an unmounted stamp with a sentiment about one of her crafts and a bunch of handmade tags for her to use on her creations.... Great news is that she liked it all!
I'm Thrilled!
Thanks for Looking!
