CCM #240 Pearls and/or Gems

Our challenge this time at Crafty Cardmakers is to add your pearls and/or gems. I have literally hundreds of gems, big ones, small ones, coloured ones, clear ones, patterned ones….. you name it I have an excess of them, so this was ideal for me to use up a few!

I've created an easel from a 42 cm long x 15 cm wide blank piece of card for my base. The top part of the card was created with a combination of one of Leonie Pujol’s circus stamps, Some Marianne dies and some zig clean color brush pens.

I stamped the image onto some matching cardstock and then partially coloured it with the clean color pens. I die cut it and then cut a matching mat which I coloured around the edge with the three colours I used on the stamped image. This was all matted onto the front of the easel card.

For the stopper I used a Craftwork Cards pre printed sentiment, and made a mat to match the coloured edge of the one on the main part of the card. The gems across the bottom were mainly clear with small bits of blue, so I coloured the rest in with yellow and green copics to complement the existing colour palette. The little butterflies must be 15 years old, and I found them lurking in a box with some gems! As was the large blue gem in the centre of the main image.
