My Besties International Xmas Card Invitation



I would like to thank My Besties International for inviting me to participate in their Christmas Event.
The Theme I have chosen to make a card on is 
"Christmas plus Music"
This is a creation which is an Easel Gift Box Card.
I have used a pre-colored My Besties Xmas Digital Stamp where I have enhanced the image with my Copic's also using True Snow with Glitter and I have also utilized the various colors on the Digi with colored Glitter Glue. The image has 4 layers.
Although my card is featured as an Easel ~ due to the exceptional weight of all of my 
additions, the card required strengthening, so therefore my Easel is completely separate to the platform. I have built the Easel up with supporting extra Kaiser Cardstock and made it into a diamond shape so all of the 3 sides are all strengthened and supported and will stand upright without bending. The Easel can be adhered to the Platform with double sided adhesive tape.



The Image I have used is IMG380 and you can see her  Here!

Have a Blessed Day :)
