For my card for this challenge I have used a fabulous digi from Delicious Doodles from the August store collab. When I saw the artists palette I was inspired to make an easel card and planned to actually put a picture that had been 'painted' onto the easel.

I made the easel by placing lollypop sticks in an easel shape onto the vertical part of the card. I made a canvas from a part of one of my pretty glitter papers from Dovecraft, mounted it onto a piece of chipboard for stability and glued it to the easel. I used a small brown inkpad to add a bit of colour to the outside of the card and also to the easel.

The artists palette has been coloured with Marvy Le Plume pens and attached to the easel.

The lower portion of the card has been covered with one of the papers in the same pad. I have made the easel stopper with one of the same flowers as in the paper above and attached with 3D foam. The sentiment panel is a Marianne Creatables die cut and the quote is one I found on the internet that for me sums up all us arty people.


Materials Used in this card are as follows:-
Card Size - 6" easel card
Image - Artists Palette by Delicious Doodles
Papers - Sweet Blossom First Edition pad by Dovecraft
Tools - 3D Foam, Marvy Le Plume pens, die from Marianne Creatables
Embellishments - lollipop sticks
Techniques - distressing, die cut, shaped card

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges (in Alphabetical Order):-
