Challenge #13 ~ Easel Card Sponsored by Soft Pencil

I want to say thanks again, for coming here and playing with us!  I know there are many challenge blogs out there, but it makes us feel so great to know that you share our passion for chaos and piling stuff... LOL!!!!  

This week we have one of our "regular" sponsors, as in... she is so awesome she keeps coming to give images away to our players... of course she and her images are not "regular" in any other way, they are CUTE... and sweet... 

The winner to this week's challenge gets a $5 voucher to Softpencil.

This week's challenge is an Easel Card, I am working through the list of ideas that everyone gave us in our Surprise post the other day, and we are starting with this one.  Easel Cards are so "IN" right now, and you can see why after you look at the amazing work of our DT...
If you haven't done one of these cards, here are the instructions @ Splitcoaststampers.  Let me start by saying the instructions and some of the "image" instruction look way more complicated than they really are, so give it a try.  I also find a place that does the easel card in a different way and wanted to give you that link too, in case you like this technique better, it is from Andrea's Stamping.
