I chose this fab TGF image and teamed everything around my papers,  the image is coloured with Copics and the papers are of course First edition,  with some lime green bazzil.

Now for a quick Tutorial

First take a Card blank,  Ive got a 5 x 5 blank for this make,  score and Mountain fold across the front of the card from the top right corner to the bottom left like so, and place double sided tape in the bottom triangle as shown












Then I measure the based of the card to make the front section,  this is slightly smaller than 5 inches I used Green card for this and Matt and layered my papers with the images as shown here,matching up my copics with the papers, the front panel is then stuck the the card by just laying the front piece on top on the blank.













I them decorated the inside of the card,  as this will be seen once the easel is standing up so I like to make this as pretty as possible.I Matt and layered Green card and papers the ribbon is wrapped around paper and layered onto the card. I added a greeting,  hand made bling swirl and these are easy to do and a butterfly,  the card is raised a bit the help the easel to stand up











and here is the finished card with some added flowers at the end.

Hope you can follow these instructions and have a bash at one yourself.
