Water Lily Easel Card

This card was made for Digi Day over at SNR & PCP yesterday, but, I just couldn't get the grandchildren to nap at the same time so I could finish it in time to play along. I'm just having a real hard time lately getting good pictures of my cards. I think I need a new camera.

The sketch used for the front of this card is from the Wednesday Card Sketch Challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers.

This is an Easel Card. I really am addicted to making them. The theme was Mother's Day. I was going to put Happy Mother's Day on the inside where I have the water lily, however, after punching the fan border on the designer paper, I thought the image to the left of the water lily looked like a frog. Vivid imagination!!! Anyway, I decided to make a second water lily to place next to my "FROG" instead of words.

Each Water Lily, a digi image from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, was printed three times, colored with Copic Markers, cut out and layered with foam tape for a 3D affect.
I used my new Nesties, In Spades, for behind the focal point and in the corners.

The hand stitching around the card front was done with Embroidery Floss.
