This is the twisted easel birthday card I made for Alan to give to his wife Jan. Jan and I were at our LSS and I picked up a sheet of the gorgeous Prima patterned paper and Jan said, "ooh, that's lovely, is that for my birthday card?". So what else could I have used, I can take a hint! I chose my colour combo based on the patterned paper.
I sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds on the large rose and popped it up. I've had a pack of the large pearls in my stash for ages, I thought they would be perfect to adorn the Nestie beaded circle - I got to use nearly the whole pack! As the card ended up so dimensional I decorated a box/envelope. Please visit this blog post if you'd like to take a look http://flowersparkle.blogspot.com/20...hday-card
