New shape twisted easel.....


I really like twisted easels, and I like circular cards too. So I combined them both to create a circular twisted easel card. It took a couple of aborted tries before getting the angle right but I got there in the end! This was my first effort and I have to say that I'm really pleased with it. I dug out a Disney cart for this one ( I don't use 'em very often because they're so flamin' fiddly!)and went with a Cinderella image. I used Dovecraft 'Celebrations' papers and a circular card cut at 6". I added a punched border to the top section trimmed with ribbon, a bow and a pink daisy. Cinders was cut from pink cardstock (not blue as she is in the booklet) I changed the colour of her gloves to white,and I drew in the eyes with a marker as the pieces were minute! 'Happy Birthday' was cut from pink glittercard, shadowed with white cardstock cut by hand, then adhered to the card with foam pads. 'Pretty Princess' was cut from pink glittercard, shadowed with white then adhered to the card base, also with foam pads. A glittery heart was adhered to the card base with double height foam pads to act as a stop. A smattering of punched hearts completes the card.
