Hi Everyone!

Today is the day to celebrate over at the Outlawz!! We are now over 2000 members strong!  We are celebrating in many ways!  You can get in on all the fun by clicking here to see where to start.  I am one of the eight blogs involved in the Tutorial Blog Hop, as well as being here to inspire you to participate in our Copic Challenge Group .  Our theme is Where in the World.  I chose to celebrate my country, and you can choose however the theme speaks to you!  I look forward to enjoying all of your creations!  I also have the privilege of debuting a new digi by MayzyArt ,  She is called Canadian Pride.  She was made for all us Canadians with just this challenge in mind, so be sure to head on over and get yours!  She also has many different images that would fit this challenge perfectly!  This is my card for the challenge as well as my tutorial.

Twisted Easel Tutorial

Things you will need:
(the punch, stamp, ink, and clear embossing powder are for making the leaves on my card)

The first step is to cut a piece of cardstock as your card base 5 1/2 x 11. Now you are ready to score the center of your card at 5 1/2 and then turn your card to the first half and score it diagonally from the bottom center of the card to the outer corner.

Now you can decorate the bottom of your card. Cut a square 5 1/2 inches and then layer a piece of designer paper 5 1\4 square on top and glue it to the bottom.

 

 Now close your card and you are going to glue only the bottom half of the card.  Next cut another 5 1/2 square with a 5 1/4 piece of designer paper matted on it, and glue it to the bottom half of the card.

Ok, you are almost there, now you can choose something to raise up on pop dots to rest your easel on. I chose a scalloped oval to rest my card on.

Great work, now you can decorate however you like!!
