A Christmas Choir Easel Card


My second Easel Card! I will try not to go mad and make them all the time I promise! But I have to say I do like this fold of card.

I was asked for brief instructions - I am not brilliant at explaining things like this but I hope this helps, you can change the measurements to suit your project:-

I start off with an A4 sheet of card. I cut and score so that I have a 5 x 5 card base. I score the front of the card at the half way mark and mountain fold. Cut another piece of card 5" x 5" and attach this piece to the bottom half of the scored card front only. The front will stand proud when the base card folds up. Attach a button, brad or flower to the card base floor to act as a prop for the easel.

This time I have made a Christmas card that is good for two challenges. The Colour Create Challenge of 'All White' - cheating unashamedly using as much white on my card as possible but the colour sort of stretched out from the image! It is also another for the DP2 Challenge to use a 'fancy fold'!

The Choir is a Mo Manning digital stamp and has been coloured with ProMarkers. Embellished with ribbon, glittered die cut snowflakes and gems.
