Triple Twisted Snowflake Easel - Design 2

 Hi Everybody,     

I am trying to feature many styles to create this Triple version of the easel card and this one is also Twisted.

It is easy to make for yourself and I have kept the tutorial precise and easy to follow so that you will have no trouble crafting along with me.

Triple Twisted Snowflake Easel - Design 2

I have even more versions to share with you so be sure to come back and watch

For this card I have again made some of my own background papers but this time in a different way.

I am using the brushes that I bought from Lidl a few years ago. and they are specifically decorating brushes  ... but they work really well for blending inks  

I have all the Distress Oxides too so I may as well put them to some good use and this is such an enjoyable way to do it. 

Plus it saves me money on buying papers.

The same applies to any dies I have used. I already have them and so I may as well use them too.

This is my personal mission not to buy anything new for crafting.

 And it is working so far !!

Mire tomorrow ...

Triple Twisted Easel Card - Design 1

 Hi Everybody,  

Here is yet another version of the Easel Card and thus time I  have twisted the triple variety,

I have  a few versions of how to make this card to show you and rather than add them all in one extra  long video I decided to make a few and keep them shorter.

Here is the first one for the 

Twisted Triple Easel Card

Be sure to come back and check for more ways to make these easel cards.

The blue card to the left has used card from AnnaMarie Designs but for the one in the video I decided to make yet more of my own backgrounds.

It is fun to mix and match the colours and see what you like.

Some of them may not mix as you think and then you could end up with a muddy brown.

So be sure to dry each colour before you add another one to the top and that helps to keep the colours pure. But whatever you do ... have fun !!

More tomorrow ...

Triple Easel Card

 Hi Everybody,    

Today I am moving on to the Triple Easel Card and this is another easy but beautiful card to add to your repertoire.

You can create this card from any Nesting shapes that you have in your stash, or indeed any dies that will give you three different sizes that will blend together, and it will look good with whatever you use.

It is another design I have covered in the past but this is the new version of an old favourite.

The background in the video is also created by hand with ink smooshing and some silver embossing to match the colour scheme.

You can use any flowers stamps you may have or anything else that takes your imagination to create the background.

The flowers on my easels are from Altenew and coloured with alcohol markers.

If you add the flowers carefully then the  whole card will fit into an A5 envelope ... or you could create a box to send it in, and I used the left over flowers to decorate it.

I am also including the link to another Triple Easel video that was done using the Heart shaped  Dies that I released some time ago.
