Polkadoodles Crafts | By The Sea | Easel Card

Published on by Vicky Wright2 Comments

G’Day Crafty Friends,

I’m a little excited to share my very first card as a Guest Designer for Polkadoodles Crafts.

This week’s challenge is an Easel Card with a By the Sea Theme.

This is Digi Choosday over at the blog – don’t you just love that name – which runs each Tuesday, so there’s always something new to spark your creativity.  I’d absolutely love for you to join in.

For my project, I created an easel card, which is such a fun interactive design.  It stands beautifully for display and gives you that extra wow factor when giving or posting to someone special.  I took my inspiration from the papers as they reminded me of the mermaid’s tail.  Check out the lovely soft colours of purples & blues!

Copics –

  • Skin – E00, E000, R30
