Soft Spring Easel Card

By
Today's card is one that has sort of evolved into something else as I was making it!
I started off with my wisteria image from the hostess set Soft Spring. I had seen it used on a friend's blog and I was inspired to use it again.
Change no. 1 - I suddenly decided to change the colour from a soft violet shade to the bright yellow of a laburnum blossom.

Here's the card


I didn't like it! There was no place for a sentiment and it turned out very flimsy.
Change no. 2 - I turned it into an easel card



I used a darker green over my leaves and used a base of Garden Green card stock and I'm pleased to say I like it a lot better now!

I am entering this card into the challenges over at

It's been a very blustery day in Bridgnorth today although it's still lovely and sunny - too windy for washing though as I'm sure it would have blown the line over!! Never mind - there's always tomorrow.

Thanks for looking today - see you soon - J xx

    I love both versions of this card Jacqueline! The doodled partial frame is a lovely touch on the first and I'm sure a bold or blocky sentiment would look lovely on it! The second is a great transformation too - just shows how versatile you can be while stamping! The stamp set is lovely isn't it - it was you that revealed the flower was supposed to be wisteria but you've shown how fab it looks as laburnum too! Take care, Vicky xx

    I love how the card looked initially, but it certainly is striking as an easel card version too. Lovely stamp. Thanks for joining our challenge at Inkspirational.

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
