Celebrate Today – Easel Card

Easel cards have been all the rage for quite some time, but I have never done one. Why not now? Easel cards look like a regular card at first pass, but they prop up as a wonderful display for your little piece of art. I had several ideas for how my fancy easel card would look and finally decided Mixed Bunch would be a lovely topper.

On a piece of Whisper White paper, I stamped the Mixed Bunch image twice in Basic Gray and once in Regal Rose. I punched the outside image with my Blossom punch and then cut out the inside images with my paper snips. I stacked them, punched a hole through the center with my paper piercing tool and then added a metallic brad.

I really love this finished product. The black and gray really force the pink to pop! Simple and elegant. A perfect wedding or anniversary!
