Hi everyone!
I'm thrilled to share with you a delightful Easel with Drawer Card inspired by the "That's Ridiculous" Challenge! This project features the fun 5405- Mrs. Set, this lady totally brings a fabulous flair to this theme!
To kick things off, I stamped the lady, her hairpiece, and a fitting sentiment using black hybrid ink. Cutting out the images was a breeze with the included dies, especially the hat dies, which cleverly craft an opening for her head, allowing for easy hat changes!
For the backdrop, I stenciled a cool brick wall using two shades of pink Distress Oxide Ink and created a wooden floor. Using foam tape, I centered the lady on the card and adorned the wall with several white enamel dots, creating a chic frame for our High Maintenance lady.
Once the background was set, it was time to make the interactive card base, box base, and drawer. While they may seem intricate, fear not—once you dive in, it all comes together seamlessly.
With the base pieces assembled, I turned my attention to cutting the paper layers. The Art Impressions Valentines Paper Pack prints perfectly complemented the heart-print pajama pants. And who can resist the classic combo of pink and red? To add a touch of elegance, I opted for black and silver glitter paper to mat the layers, framing the pattern paper flawlessly.
To add the finishing touches, I punched a hole in the drawer and added a modern black & white ribbon as a handle. Oh, and let's not forget the pièce de résistance—several pieces of candy nestled inside the drawer to complete the project!
I hope you enjoyed today's project and are inspired you to join in the "That's Ridiculous" Challenge!
