This month Suzanne Dean challenged all the members of the Magnolia-licious Design Team to make an easel card. It took me a little bit to get my mind around the idea, but I put one together and I actually like the whole easel thing :D. I used #362 – Berry Tilda and Sentiment #703 – Just Sitting Here. If you’re interested in seeing how it is put together, here’s a link to the template and to the instructions. I scaled the size of my card up to be 6" x 6" but you could very well stay with the 4" x 4" size.
This is the secondary panel that props up the main panel – when the card is collapsed and opened as a regular card, this is the panel you would see. I pulled coordinating papers from My Minds Eye – Pretty Posies and colored Tilda with Copic Markers. I have her perched on a Spellbinders Eyelets Pendant and the sentiment sits on a Spellbinders Fancy Tag. I used real lace for the scalloped borders and this exquisite ribbon is May Arts Lace Ribbon.
During the month you can check out other easel cards posted by the design team at the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog. Better yet, upload your own! All of the details are on the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog, basically you have all month to prepare your creation, then upload in the comments section. For your hard work, you have an opportunity to win a stamp of your choice from Magnolia-licious.

What a fun project – I can see this easel as a fun birthday card. Speaking of birthdays, mine today was awesome and I thank you for all your sweet, well wishes I received through email. Yay, I can’t get older for another whole year ;-)
Stunning and the colors are just perfect together. I like the borders behind that, very good idea and one i will use. Thanks so much for so much inpspiration.
Becca, This is so lovely. All the colors are just beautiful togerthr. Thank you again for sharing your talents to the world.
Beautifully done, Becca! Every detail is simply perfect and it comes together as a gorgeous masterpiece!
Absolutely beautiful. I love the layering effect with the branch of the apple extending to each layer. Little details make all the difference.
I love what you do with stamps and Spellbinders. Thanks for the inspiration. It really does motivate me to spend money on these products. Now if you could only convince the companies to have a few more sales. I can never afford all that I see you use that I want.
Hi Becca. This lovely card has a gorgeous ‘vintagy’ feel – I love the layering you have achieved and your right that bow is fabulously decadent!!

Wow, how gorgeous Becca!
I think I’m gonna have to get out my Thesaurus, because Gorgeous, Beautiful, Stunning and Amazing are getting old and over used on this blog, girl!
Here’s one never used, I’m sure: Pulchritudinous! ;o)
Thank you Becca for the beautiful card. I admire your knowledge when it comes to technique. I am going to try the tombo markers and a spray of mist on my apples for my next card.
Yours in Christ,
Judy
Soft and beautiful!
