Stampin' Up! 70th Birthday Swing Easel

I love creating one-on-one with friends on a special project and incorporating ideas to embrace character, and individuality.  This is a swing easel card for a lady turning 70....

Pearls in the flower centres look sooooo pretty.. and the card uses the flowers as a stop to create the easel.

I ran a class and these are the cards the girls created.  The photos are not crash hot because I had to use a flash so you can see the detail in the window...

The background layer.. Below we used "Sitting Here" but "Mediterranean Moments" is another excellent choice

This card was created by one of my beautiful ladies - June for her sister Val.  It uses a combination of Stampin' Up! products and other products (silver stickers) to create a stunning 80th Birthday card.

The cards are created from varying sized rectangles, taped at the edges - we used the dimensional strips, to give more depth.
