Birds, Blooms or Bees

It's challenge time at Allsort and Ellie has chosen: Birds, 
Blooms or Bees. ATG's is also an option.
 
 

 
  I went with an easel card this fortnight.  I cut the 
flowers and leaves out of white card stock and ink blended them
for a more realistic look.  Layered it up on several arch panels,
added an embossed layer, some pearls for holding the top part
 up and a sentiment from my prestamped selection.
 
Laying flat for easy mailing:
 

 
Supplies:
Floral Bundle by Poppy 
Papers and embellishments by StampIn Up 
Spellbinders Perfect Touch Arches and Tags
 
 
Join in the fun at Allsorts Challenge for inspiration and a 
chance to win: Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Glorious Bouquet stamp 
 set available from Buddly Crafts.

Your easel card looks beautiful with the softly inked flowers layered over the arched panels, and the embossed background and pearls add gentle texture while the blended petals and clean sentiment create a fresh elegant look that suits the theme perfectly.
