Greetings, Crafty Friends!
Donna, here, with a little Dies R Us Inspiration!
In the Ellis Household, we are celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary,
Dies R Us is an on-line store carrying a huge assortment of amazing dies by several manufacturers.
I hope you enjoy today's project.
so today I'm showing a humorous card for my husband,
who prefers Simple and Silly.
(Noooo, I'm pretty sure that is NOT why he married me, giggle)
That being said...
Have you ever tried combining...
elegant, ornate elements...
with...
silly, humorous pieces?

My card uses the following Dies R Us Products:
Die-Versions - Bug's Life Sweet Petites DVP-086
Sue Wilson Spanish Collection Seville CED1203
Darice Dies - hearts (plain and scallop) nesting dies
Impression Obsession - Grass DIE038-J
We live on a mini-farm, and my husband is constantly battling the buggies and ickies around the place here in central, rural Florida. Hence, the characters of my card. Wouldn't this card would be so sweet even without the easel effect?
But I liked the sentiment so much, that an easel card was the only option.
How I hold multi-dies together:
How to make the border for the "stop":
Use the same border to create cohesiveness on the top panel.
Be sure to distress-ink the border for interest!
