It's Spotlight Day 1 for MFT's December release which went live yesterday morning! Today I have an easel card to share with you that features the new Crafty Friends stamp set illustrated by Jenoblade. Here's what I've used:-
Blueprints 27
Sweet Summer Color Blends 6 x 6 Paper Pad
Postage Stamp STAX Die-namics
Say Anything Die-namics
If you're not familiar with how to make an easel card then I suggest that you use THIS LINK which takes you to a wonderful tutorial by Jennifer McGuire. Don't be intimidated, they're not tricky and Jennifer is the best teacher!
With the basic easel constructed I then die cut two panels using Blueprints 27. One was patterned cardstock and the other was plain white. The patterned panel was adhered to the easel with foam tape and with the second one, I used pale grey ink and I randomly stamped a wallpaper design using one of the sweet images from the stamp set, I then glued that panel directly inside the easel.
I stamped the images from Craft Friends and coloured with the following Copic marker combinations:-
Craft Table - C3, C1, C0, C00
Kitten - E31, E41, E40
Chick - Y21, YR20, YR30, YR0000, C1, C0, YR07
Pup - E42, E41, E40
Silver Tabby - C1, C0
Blushes - R22, R20, R00, R000
Marker Holder - R22, R20, R00
Copic - T2, T1, R22
Images were die cut and applied with dimensional foam tape. I stamped HELLO on a speech bubble created using 'Say Anything' Die-namics and also applied this with foam tape.
I now turned my attention to the inside of the easel. What you place inside needs to be dimensional so that the card stays propped up. I decided to create 4 hearts using leftovers from the panel of patterned cardstock, stacking 3 white heart die cuts and finishing with the colour on top. These hearts form part of Blueprints 27. I aligned them and glued them down which creates one option for where to sit the easel and the second option for a more tilted view would be to prop it open on the postage stamp.
To create the postage stamp I used the Postage Stamp Stax Die-namics and masked off the edges and did a little ink blending using a tiny brush and colours that went with the patterned cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set and backed it with foam tape and applied.
To complete the card I used 3 different shades of Nuvo drops to accent the main image and I highlighted points with a white gel pen.
