Easel ~ The Real Thing

Yesterday (Friday) was the best day....
my sister and I went to a workshop at Joan's Gardens...
we made 3 of the most beautiful projects....


I am sharing one of them with you today...
an easel....
it was so fast (of course, they had the kits all cut for us...smile)
look at all those dreamy die cuts...
 
and the flower "I" made with the new Cheery Lynn Build A Flower 2 set
that Selma designed...
I won the build a flower 1 set awhile back to be on the design team
to release that set....
and I have to tell ya, the build a flower #2 set is just as gorgeous...
I think you can make over 20 different flowers with this set...wowzers!!
My Begoina was made with 23 petals,
 all distressed with TH Distress Ink "Tattered Rose"
built up layer by layer....
 
the easel was made with a TH Alterations Sizzix die "Small Easel"
the paper we used is Graphic 45 "A Ladies Diary"
the dies are Cheery Lynn Mini Flourish (B170) Corners (B165)
and Marianne Dies leaves (LR0156)
 
I have to say I came home with a bag full of new goodies I will share later this week....
including the Cheery Lynn Build A flower 2
 
I am entering this into the challenge at Catered Crop "No Stress To Distress"
