Apple A Day Easel Card

Hi everyone!

How are you all today?  We had some nasty storms come through earlier but it's nothing but beautiful weather now.

Over the weekend I had hosted an Easel Card Blog Hop on my sister page The Blog Hop Princess.  I love easel cards and decided to share one today that I recently made.

The shape comes from the Silhouette store.  I offset the shape and welded two together and created one offset shape for the top base.  I used Jaded Blossom Feeling Fruity and Pattern Kisses stamp sets.  Papers came from my stash and of course I used a white gel pen and VersaFine in Onyx Black.

I'm still learning the Silhouette but would anyone like a tutorial if I can do it?  Let me know, I will try to figure it out.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a fabulous crafty day!
