Beccy's Place Month Of Holiday Cards Day 25

The general theme for the Month of Holiday Cards at Beccy's Place has been A-Z.  However, with only 26 letters in the alphabet and 30 days in the month, there will be four challenges that fall outside that general theme.  The challenge for Day 25 is one of them.  For Day 25, Beccy provided us with a freebie to use:


I decided to create a Triple Easel card using a tutorial from Beccy's Place.  Colouring of Beccy's freebie image is with copic markers.  I used a scrapbook paper on the bottom of the easel an the upright pieces use a christmas paper from Rosie's Studio.  I also added some 3D reindeer embellishments as stoppers and some glitter foam reindeer.

Beccy's Place Month Of Holiday Cards Day 10

Here is where I ran into problems with creating a card using colours, cardfolds and images starting with the letter I.  So for this card, I had to "rename" Beccy's fold to "Icy Easel Card"  so I could have it starting with I!!!  I'm going to run into problems with some of the other letters of the alphabet too as there are other gaps!



I have followed a tutorial at Beccy's Place for an Easel Card.

My true I words are:
Ice Skates (image from Beccy's Place)

Indigo (colour)

I also used a paper from a Christmas paper pad, some glitter foam snowflake embellishments and a sentiment from Beccy's Place.

Beccy's Place Month Of Holiday Cards Day 7

Beccy has thrown a curve ball for Day 7 - we have veered away from the alphabet for the challenge at Month of Holiday Cards at Beccy's Place.  However, it gave me a chance to use a different fold and image.
