Tickled Pink Stamp Challenges #30 - Anything But a Square

Time for another Tickled Pink Challenge guys! ;) I'm settling into this roll well and am SO chuffed that Kellie asked me to stay. This would have been my official last post.. but not anymore *big grin* I've got tonnes more to come.

This week we want to see..

ANYTHING BUT A SQUARE

Fun, right?! Sometimes we get into a rut and always create square/rectangle card designs. Well it's time to break out of your comfort zone - I can't wait to see the sort of fun shapes you guys come up with.

I decided to have a flick through my nesties and I come across a rather unloved set - Labels 10 - which I thought would be the perfect shape for a little easel card.

I have used some delicious blue cardstock from Papercuts for my cardbase and cut three shapes from the nesties for the base of my easel card. I have doodled all edges using a brown fineliner.

All patterned paper is from MME and has been paired up with aqua embellishments from The Ribbon Girl and Prima. Gotta love aqua!! I tried to keep the card simple as it is relatively small.

I have used Prima pearls to decorate the front as well as create a wedge to prop (not sure of the technical term? Wedge?! LOL!!) my easel card up when it is open. I'll have to keep checking whether they're stuck strong - I've read a lot lately about pearls and other self adhesive embellishments falling off of cards and stuff lately!

This side shot shows the dimension on the card front and the burnt edges of my seam binding. I love the effect this gives. I burn all the edges of my ribbon to seal it from fraying and the seam binding always burns to create a lovely effect. Gotta be careful the flame don't travel all the way up the ribbon though! ;)
