I like easel cards but I am never sure where to write my message and whether a non card maker would understand how to stand my card....I am saying this as I made an easel card for my mum and when I saw it on her mantlepiece she had stood it up wrong lol :)
This card has been created using Marianne Design "La Musique" paper bloc and the Marianne Design vintage music stamps - which I adore as there are so many elements.
The centre oval is also a new Marianne Design oval dies LR0235. Edges of my central oval, text and corner elements have been embossed slightly with gold ep.....
I would like to enter the following challenges with my easel card:-
Fashionable Stamping Challenges - "Musical"
Cards for Men - "Anything Goes"
Eclectic Ellapu - "It's a Vintage Thing"
Allsorts Challenge - "For Men Only"

I have stamped on the background paper and stamped my other images in Sepia Versafine. My image is courtesy of Land of Nod Studios - it was a freebie and I think he looks as though he should be playing the violin in an orchestra.
Machine stitching has been added to the "easel". Propping up the "easel" is a piece of stamped script slightly embossed around the edges and mounted on 3D tape to make it a prop. Flourish and chiffon ribbon added.

This is beautiful and what lovely papers, stamps and dies you've chosen to put together. I know what you mean about easel cards though and some other unusual shapes - people in general do't 'get' them and have no idea how they work so I tend to stick to the conventional opening types.
A real stunner Suz. The soft sepia tones are gorgeous and love the stamping and embellishing.
Thanks for joining in at FSC this time too, lovely to have you with us again.

Hi Suzanne - a gorgeous card - I always wonder the same though and my mum proved the point when I gave her an easel card for her birthday and she couldn't work it out - and she's a crafter too !! Still I do like them and your is just beautiful -Thank you so much for sharing with us at FSC..Esther xx
