Paper Scraping: The Greeting Farm Royal Battle

Well our group the "Faux Farmers" made it to week 2 of the The Greeting Farm's Royal Battle. This week the card that is being submitted by our group is mine. The challenge was to create an easel card. I have never made one. And there for awhile it seemed like everyone was making these. I have admired everyone else's easel cards but never thought it was for me. Well I was wrong. I had lots of fun making this easel card. Almost all of the easel cards I have seen have been squares. And being me, I wanted something unique. So I used my Cricut and the Accent Essentials cartridge to cut two scalloped circles. I had my circles sitting on my desk and I thought of how wonderful some lace would be sandwiched in-between the two. I got out my sticky strip, added the lace and stuck them together.

I love this paper by KC&Company. I thought is would be perfect with my Cheeky Glamour stamp. She is so cha-cha. You may not be able to see in the photo but I added some glitter to her hose and some white fluff to her boa. I also added some rhinestone flourishes & flowers by Prima. The ivory pearls are from the Stampin Up Pretties Kit.

Next came the choice of what to put on the inside. I wanted a cute saying. I remembered I had some rub-ons to use. So "Have your cake and eat it too" was perfect! And of course I added more bling. I mounted the strip on some foam tape to make it stand up so it would hold back the top.
