Round easel card

Hi all

This was one of those really simple cards to make, the thing that took the time was cutting round the stamped flowers and sewing on those blooming buttons!

This is the first time for me entering a challenge over on The Play Date Cafe there is an amazing photo inspiration and the challenge is to follow the colours in the image:



How gorgeous is that photo? I just love it!!



I used my petite scallop nesties, papers are Basic Grey Lemonade, K & Co Bailey and core'dinations. The "spikey" flower stamp was a freebie with Craft Stamper magazine and the sketch flower is by Autumn Leaves. Buttons and ribbon from my stash.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

365 Cards Day 116 - Cut 3 ways (nesties, blade, scissors, punch - I know thats 4 LOL)
Crazy Challenge - All things spotty
Practical Scrappers - Flowers
ABC - xtra dimension
The Craft Garden - 6 flowers
