Happy Anniversary Easel Card w/ Brayering Technique by Lynn Dionne

Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I have a super special anniversary card to show you today! For our main focal point we will be using the adorable couple from the Ai Love Birds Stamps (AiCS27) Set. I just love this couple sitting on a park bench...it is just the sweetest image! 

I will show you how to quickly and easily create a fun heart shaped easel card! This takes a simple anniversary card to a whole new level and will make our card more of a keepsake for displaying on a tabletop!

To set the scene for our couple, we will be brayering a beautiful background using an ombre' ink pad. I will show you lots of tips and tricks for getting a perfect brayered background. I'll also show you how to create this rainy look using and image from the Ai Bible Foliage Set 2 (5418). This little dotted image might be something that you might overlook....but you will see how much fun this image can be!

We will pop-up a sentiment on the inside of the card which is also from the Ai Love Birds Set and this will create the easel mechanism for our card.

As a final step, we will add some pretty sparkly gems to the front of the card!

For the coloring today I used the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens as listed here: Blender, Lt Gray, Gray Brown, Mid Brown, Black, Beige, Flesh Color, Lt Blue, Turquoise Green, Dull Blue, Deep Violet

Thank you so much for joining me today!  Have a fun and crafty day!!!
