You know, I haven't been able to make that easel card yet but I like yours. Putting the circle and scallop behind it adds such a nice touch to it. The paper is so cute and I love that little image. Snowflake is a great touch! Thanks for providing that tutorial Donna; I'll have to try it.

Victoria said...

Oh god I'm having such a senior moment, not sure if I left a comment when I looked at this earlier today!

If I did I'm sure I told you how fab it was and that I love the huge scalloped circle with the sentiment and the colours and image and all.

If not - all the above!!!
