I decided to make an easel card with the picnic table and flower pot image. I used a sheet of tan card to shape the easel and the 'stop' strip. I coloured the image with Promarkers and added a red satin heart, from Create and Craft, to the heart on the pot. I filled the centre of the heart with red glitter. After I cut the image in to a rectangle I added Distress Ink to the edges. Three pieces of Card Candi are at each side of the image. The paper is from a First Edition pad, Hideaway. The 'stop' is made with the tan card and then a piece of orange ribbon is centred across it. The large image of the flower is also coloured with Promarkers and then I cut it out, very carefully, and centred it on the base. Some Diamond Dust is at the centre of the flower.

So sorry to hear that you are still not well but I hope that they will be able to help you on Friday. Also sorry that you had to sit so long waiting to see your sister (read on JS Forum)when you are poorly. Onto a brighter note, I love your card, such lovely bright colours. I am always afraid to make an easel card because I think that the recipient may not know how to stand it up!!!!! Take care, Michelle x
