Fairytale Flowers Easel Shaker on Die Cut Divas

Hi everybody,

I am very excited to share my project for Die Cut Divas today.  Have you come across a time when your card front is too heavy (of a side open card) and it topples over?  I have, so I've decide to experience with an easel card.  I am pretty sure the design is out there somewhere on the world wide web, and I do not claim to have invented it. 

To create this card I started by stamping both the floral images from Hero Arts Fairytale Book Alphabet Stamp set on a white card panel in Soft Grey shadow ink and then colored in pencils.  Then die cut the shaker window with Scallop Frame.  

To create the card base I trim a 12 by 4 1/14 inch white card panel, score at 6 inch (middle of panel), and at half inch on each side.  To connect and create the easel I also need a 4 1/4 by 1 inch white paper stripe.

On the card base I gold heat emboss the rose and build the shaker element.

For the back of the card, I die cut a Perforated Flap, and adhere a white panel with stamped sentiment in the inside so when flap is open, the sentiment reveals.  Of course I did this step before I glue together the bottom flaps to create the easel.  :)

Here's a shot of it folded going in the envelope.

I hope I've inspired you to join the challenge.  February Challenge theme on Die Cut Divas is Flowers and Hearts.  And our sponsor is Hero Arts.
