I was asked to make this for a Music Teacher, and of course it had to be an easel card. It was for a 30th Birthday and this is what I produced.
I made an 8 X 8 card and matted it with dark blue card to that I added silver card before adding my embossed Marianne folder that cuts as well as embosses. I used Dusty Concord to distress the edges before adding my stamped images, that I bought at the SECC in Glasgow years ago and I cannot remember the name. Matted and layered them with purple card, a few gems and of course for me the obligatory ribbon bow.. I made the bag and added the spellbinders Happy Birthday die cut to finish it off. Been baking today and now I'm off to do some Ironing. Hope you are all keeping fine and lots of Hugs to those who are struggling. Hugs Rita xxxx
