An easel card

Today I decided to have a go at making an easel card... yes my first one! Been wanting to try one for quite some time and now that I did, I loved it :)





I followed this sketch


and used one of Sliekje's cute freebie stamps, which I coloured with my promarkers. Hope you like it.

These are my challenges for today..
