Bearlymine Tenth Challenge - "Vintage Easel Card"

Good Morning Everyone, yet again another fortnight has slipped by and weve now reached our tenth Challenge, and guess what Im hosting this one, its the first time that Ive had to actually not only posted on my own blog but also on the Bearlymine Challenge Blog, I also get to pick the winners from the last Challenge, what fun, lets hope I dont let anyone down. I have chosen the theme of a "Vintage Easel Card", mind you after I chose it, I was a bit worried as to what I could use for my topper but luckily Joanna Sheen came to my rescue.
Well to get back to business, this fortnights Challenge is being sponsered by the following companies:-

    Bearly Mine Designs - 2 Digi Sets of Winners Choice
    Crafty Emma - a collection of 8"x 8" confetti papers
    Bildmalarna - 1 Rubber Stamp

Theres certainly some awesome prizes and Im sure you would be happy to receive one of them I know I would, I also want to tell you that Donna's Digi Paper Sets are stunning as you would see if you popped across to her webshop and see for yourself, you will find them here. Anyway here is my card for this Challenges:-
To create my card I have printed an image from Joanna Sheens "Victorial Companion" Cd onto watercolour cream card, and then cut it out with my rotatrim, and mounted it up onto a biege pearlescent card. The main card is a 7"x 7" white card and I have printed double the usual papers for the outside and inside of my twisted easel. I have used two pieces of Donna's Bearlymine "Vintage Lacy Dreams" for the first mount and both of these were also mounted onto beige pearlescent card, then I cut two pieces in a 5 inch square from Donna's Bearlymine "Shabby Vintage" to create the second mount which has had the all around lace punch used on it, they were then stuck on top of the first mounts.
Then across the middle of both I have laid a wide piece of old fashion lace with a strip of cream seam binding ribbon that was attached to the back of the first mount. For the inside I have stamped a verse onto a piece of card and mounted it towards the right hand side, and created a large double bow and stuck this to the left of it. To finish of this I cut two hearts from more of the same card and stuck them at the bottom on the right hand side.
The front of my card has had the mounted image positioned to the right of the card and I created a flower spray with several sizes of cream and beige roses from Wild Orchid Crafts plus pearl sprays and then stuck it to my card with silicone glue on top of some punched out fern leaves.
I do hope that now youve seen my card you will pop across to the Bearlymine Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented team have created for you, and hopefully you also will be encouraged to take part in this fortnights Challenges.
This card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-
