Twisted Easel Card for a 97th Birthday

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How has your week been? We have been busy here there has been lots to sort out with my parents and my sister. I also thought that I had a closer deadline for some crafty makes than was the case so the pressure is off a bit. 

Here is the birthday card I have made for my father-in-law who will be 97 in September. He still loves his garden so this card will be appropriate. My mother-in-law will be able to work out the twisted easel style works, she is a smart cookie. 

I have had the sticky burlap for a while. I chose to use it here for the texture. 


The image is from  one of the Hunkydory little books. I used the flowing dies: Ivy Spray, Stencil Sentiments, Advent Numbers all from the John Next Door range. 

I do hope my father-in-law likes this card. 

Have a great weekend. 

Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie
