Yuletide BlessingsCompleted by Margaret Swaby

I turned this sheet into an easel card and altered it slightly to make it a valentines card, which just shows how versatile it is. I took a sheet of cream A4 card and creased and folded it into half and then the top half of it into half again. I used a Martha Stewart flowered punch along the bottom front edge.

I printed the sheet off and cut out all of the elements then stuck the base of the design onto cream card and cut around to leave a slight edge around the design. I used silicone glue to build up the layers of the decoupage covering the sentiment with a valentines one. I added a couple of more sentiments and finished off with a couple of gold heart peel offs. I stuck this onto the folded part of the easel card and then printed off a verse onto cream card. I run a burgundy ink pad around the edges of the card and then stuck it centrally onto the front of the easel and left to dry. It is this that holds the easel in place. It has made a lovely card which I know that I will use again at Christmas time.
