Confirmation Easel

Today I decided it was time to learn how to make an easel card. It was super easy! I learned from Beate at Split Coast Stampers.

This card also fits for the Our Daily Bread Design Shining the Light Challenge, ODBDSLC4.

This week the challenge team is challenging you to think outside of the box....Create any card or project that is not an A2, A6, or A7 rectangular card. It can be a different fold (diamond fold, joy fold, easel, accordion, step, sidestep etc.) or a different shape.

I also had the Saturday Spotlight with Hidden Potential challenge in mind while planing this one. The SSHP20 challenge is to "Clean it Up!", whatever your idea of a clean card is. Mine is layers of squares.

This is Shannon's last color challenge at StampTV. Thanks for the great combos, Shannon! For her last challenge, STVCCSB13, she chose metallic.

Here is what I used:
card stock: basic black, metallic gold, very vanilla (su)
ink: versamark, encore ultimate metallic (for the grass) (lcs)
stamp sets: confirmation (odbd), hang in there (gkd)
other: fine gold embossing powder, heat tool (lcs), ivory half pearls (su)
