An Easel card with Lady Gilli


Hello from Canada! Andi here with another Gilli easel card to help inspire you with our current challenge.

I used Lady Gilli on my card and I have to admit I loved colouring her. She is so much fun with her elegant dress but most importantly with her long gloves and tiara. I want one too! I added folds in her dress using R89 as my darkest colour for the fold and then used R85, R83 and R81 to help give it a shiny multi-tone look.

I have a funny confession to make- I am not all that skilled at easel cards hee hee. I made this one but no matter how hard I tried it wouldn't stay tucked behind my flower stopper on the bottom panel. It kept just folding flat. So I grabbed my bottle of glue and just glued it in place hee hee! Now to figure out how to mail it like that ;). So if the easel challenge has been too intimidating to try yet just think of me and my tricky gluing and that should give you some more encouragement to play along. If I can do it so can you lol!!!!

I am off to teach a copic class today. Gives me another excuse to play with my new Gilli stamps lol! Yep let's all get our Gilli on today!

Cheers, Andi
