Next up is:
Ten Lords a Leaping.
I resorted to using a favourite shape an easel card. Again I didn't use a tutorial just took two card blanks shaped one into the correct folds and cut the other in half to adhere to the front to create the easel. Easy peasy. I deliberated over the image to use for the Lords but kept coming back time and time again to this one and in the end went with my gut feeling and am glad I did as I think the result works well.
So I give you:

Two stunners, Mrs A! Love the music paper and the ladies dancing are fabulous. Your lords a leaping are brilliant too. We did the 12 days of Karate moves at class last night - might explain why I ache from head to foot today, lol!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Love the paper you've used on both cards! Thanks for joining us at Fitztown Challenge Blog (FCB) and hope to see you again. Good luck!

ReplyDeleteLove both of your designs! Your ladies dancing are lovely and the lords a leaping card is wonderful! Great job with the easel challenge. Thanks for sharing at SweetStamps.com ~Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteYep, both are gorgeous. Love the music background, and had a chuckle with your easy-peasy comment. Easel folds are not E.P. for me! One of my New Year resolutions shall be:Learn to make one. Glad you stayed with your instincts on Lords, because it was definitely the spirit of the song. Loved those pretty dancing ladies too, against the music background. Big Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you & your loved ones too. So glad I had your encouragement this past year. Such fun in the playground too. Looking forward to more of that in 2014. You & Pixie have to get your backs fixed up...I want to hear some more adventures next year. Hugs & TFS

Beautiful cards, Mrs A- thanks for sharing your Christmas card for CHNC 156 - you could also enter this into my CHNC challenge extra for December - I'd love to see it there too.
ReplyDeleteThe ladies are dancing so prettily! Watch they don't run off with the Lords a leaping! Do you suppose the sight of those dancing ladies is making the Lords a bit jumpy?
ReplyDeleteLeaping lords and dancing ladies - brilliant and absolutely lovely! You are quite the clever crafter - and soooo delightful! Your comments on my wee efforts truly add sparkle to my day!
