Birthday Easel Card

Welcome to my blog and thanks so much for dropping by .
I have been having fun lately creating cards for friends 
I find Cards are so much quicker and easier than LO's
and they are a great way of using small leftover pieces from projects. 
I am sharing a card I made recently for a friend 

'CELEBRATE '
There is something I really love about easel style cards 
Not sure what it is .. I just love making them .
The Texture is created by stacking various 
nestabilities diecuts in co-ordinating Prima papers.
I topped this stack with a fabric bloom.
thanks for popping by my blog and taking the time to leave me some love 
happy happy scrapping 
big big hugz until next time
