Love - a shaped easel card

Hello.
Sorry that it took me a while to have another card to post. Life happens...LOL...so sometimes crafting just have to take a back seat for a wee while.




I made this card for a co-worker at the office who took some vacation time off to go abroad and get married. She is coming on Monday and in the meantime, since I seem to be the designated card maker in the office...LOL, I had to produce a card for everyone to sign to give to her when she comes back.

So I came up with this shaped easel card. I hope she will like it.





This Magnolia image of Edwin and Tilda from the Sweet Crazy Love Collection 2012 is actually called Cuddly Sibling, but I think it works just as well for a couple as siblings.



Do you know that it took me a while to figure whose boot that's at the very right belongs to? Whether it's Tilda's or Edwin's. I've seen it interpreted both ways...LOL. The way it looks to me though, I think that's Tilda's leg that's sticking out from under her ruffled skirt. What do you think?

Magnolia-licious, Diana's on-line store, is the place to get this and more Magnolia's wonderful products--adorable stamps (full size ones and minis), doohickey cutting dies, magazines, etc. Check out the other crafting tools and gorgeous dies that are available there too.


I had to make plenty of space for my co-workers--there are sixteen of them--to sign their names and maybe along with little notes, so I've made a swing away panel to leave the bottom base of the card blank. They can also use the top part.
