My card fits both challenges. I followed the Swing Easel fold. I made a Brusho panel and stamped the Make Art image. Painted the brush ends. Die cut easel and paint brush, painted watercolor circles with Brush and dipped the end of the paint brush in yellow acrylic paint. I found some art stamps at the thrift store, a museum poster reproduction and signatures of Picasso, Cezanne and Michel Ange. I stamped the signatures, paintbrushes and the poster on the cardbase in Rusty Hinge for a tone on tone frame and bg. I stamped the poster on watercolor paper and brushed on Rusty Hinge. Layered the WC paper on the card base and added the pallete to hold the card up. TFL

Seeing all those wonderful art tools really gets me going...love 'em. And the tone on tone with the bold colors on the tips of the brushes and the palette is a creative touch. Love how the palette holds it open. Super card Carla!

Brilliant! I have that brush image in my stash somewhere - probably from you. I pulled it out recently and it went back, unused. You gave it such a super vintage look. Love the strip that the palette is sitting on, it makes me think of all the old bookstalls along the banks of the Seine. Well, I like everything about this, I think it's a fantastic creation.

Oh Carla - I love everything about this work of art! The vintage look with the sepia base & tone on tone stamping to the hits of bright primary colors on the palette and brush tips - it all comes together as eye candy.

Love this artistic swing easel card, Carla, that little palette looks terrific! Love how you added the colour to the paint brushes, too. Happy New Year to you~
