This was a fun card to create. It was my first easel card and also a birthday card for my DH who is almost a firecracker baby His birthday present was a laptop, thus the image. The laptop was colored with Copics and then I went around the edge of the laptop with H2Os - Oyster for the shine. I also sponged some blue around the outside edges of the panel. I layered it on black and then gray cardstock. The easel stop is an image of a computer mouse thatI got off the internet. I made about 4 layers in the mouse shape and then popped it up on 3M tape. You probably can't read the sentiment (it's appropriately created using a computer) but it says -
"It's coming! It's coming!
One if by land,
And two if by air..."
I wasn't sure it would arrive in time for his birthday but it did - right on his birthday! We were both happy. The sentiment was heat embossed in silver and lots of sparkle was applied.
Thanks for looking. I hope it helps to inspire you to create a card. I had seen so many beautiful easel cards on SCS and was hoping for the perfect occasion to make one, too.
