I have this morning off from work, so I got a chance to play with the sketch challenge and Monday's technique challenge to make an easel card. I'm not sure if I did the easel right because my top panel doesn't stay tucked behind the button brad on its own, so I had to put a pop dot behind the button to hold the base in place. If anyone has pointers, I'd appreciate them so I can fold the card down into an envelope.
One of my co-workers is leaving for another job (sniff), and her favorite color is pink. This is my first time using this Spellbinder's edgeability. I softly sponged it with Pink Pirouette.
TFL and have a great day!

Charlene, I love your monochromatic and die cut images. So beautiful with the easel card technique. I had a little bit of the same issue, but the more you crease the folds the better the easel stays put :-) Try a very heavy book, dictionary, etc on your card or bone folder. You may want to raise your button a little too. TFS your beauty.....

And of course this is why the color is called pretty in pink! How gorgeous! Sorry you'll be losing a colleague, but won't she have a wonderful reminder of you!! Great job, GF!!

This is so pretty charlene, I love pinks.
You could always cut yourself 3 or 4 small circles and stick them together and make a stopper, then perhaps stick a gem in the centre. After you have stiuck the four circles together, just use a file around the edges to give a neater appearance.
