Flower Shower

I love trying out new techniques and ideas.  I have found Google images and looking at blogs is a great way to get inspiration.  I still have to work out what they did and how, but then I can put my own twist on it.  Right now I am loving the look of the twisted easel cards and I plan to make one as soon as I figure out how they are made.  I have also seen some variations on the tri-fold card that I want to try

 

Any way, this card is a variation on an easel card with just the middle popping up.  The remaining card from the the top of the card have been stuck down to form part of the base. 

This card was made using a whole sheet of A4 card folded in half plus most of a sheet of 12 x 12 paper, some lace and some trim.  I had to use additional card to make the front of the pop up section of easel and of course there is the stamped image and sentiment.  I have added creamy pearls to the center panel and and black pearls to help keep the pop up in place.

The whole card does lay properly flat, but I had trouble getting a photo :0)

I am entering this card for the following challenges:

Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Pearls and Lace

Stamp Something - Something with flowers
