I made this for a challenge over on CDAC. I belong to a group there called 'Nana Vic' and she is celebrating 500 members and has provided a bunch of freebies, and this is one of them! I didn't think I would like making easel cards but turns out they're fun and I love the result! See Resources section here for instructions from Beate Easel Card Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers
This is not a fancy card but I'm so pleased with how it turned out. The dark brown bkgrd on the top and bottom is a paper that feels like leather! It is just gorgeous! I didn't want to cover it up so I left it as it is!
Printed digi and coloured with prismas and OMS. Cut out with CB and Nesties die. Completed the easel card base then attached the leather-like paper to both the top and bottom parts. Distressed the main image with ink and attached. Added the pre-cut die tag on the bottom and printed and cut my sentiment. Distressed the edges of both pieces. Coloured the feather on the sentiment and attached. Added the brads in the corners. Added Stickles to the leaves only and Glossy Accents to the feather.
I'm sending this card to the sister of a fellow teapotter who loves owls and could use some happy mail! tfl
