For my easel card I have used the gorgeous image
Lil' Girl Swinging by Art House Designs available from Sweet Pea Stamps, the image is in digi format.
To begin with I coloured the image with Faber Castell Polychromos.
Next I cut my easel card shape with Spellbinders Grand Circles out of blue card and embossed the base section. For the frame I have chosen to use, Round 2 by Joy Crafts, I first cut the die and then hand cut the middle section out leaving only the frame. The removed section is going to be used for the inside of the card.
I made my butterfly using both the die cut and the embossing Spellbinders Les Papillions - 4. I did not find the die embossed very well no matter what I tried so in the end I used Zig glue to pick up the areas that should have embossed and added white micro fine glitter. The Happy Birthday text was cut with Spellbinders Sentiments 1 and this was placed on a the blue card cut with Sizzix - 657938. This was then mounted with foam tape to the inside of the card.
Finally I finished off with White Lace Stickles and Blue Liquid Pearls.
A pretty simple card but I really did not want to over embellish as the image is so pretty and really deserves centre stage :)
