Hey there, good to see you again! October's card swap challenge was a really interesting one, and saw me making a card for the lovely Liz that I hadn't made before, a twisted easel card.
So the remit was to make a 6 x 6" twisted easel card in a male theme, using 3 different colours, stamped images and brads. See what you think of my effort.
I always struggle with male cards, as I don't really have many male stamps. Well, it just had to be Lovely as a Tree, good ole faithful! I made an envelope to go with the card using the Under the Tree Speciality Designer Series Paper. I wanted the envelope to be a bit more robust that normal because of the type of card it was, it didn't lay flat.
I used the reflective technique that I've used before. This technique is so easy to do, but looks really effective! I will do a tutorial on this honest! I also used an antique brad to make the easel part of the card stand up. I will definitely definitely make more of this style card!
