Broom Tilda - mini easel card

Happy Thursday!

This is my first mini easel card!!! This is so much fun to make that I wonder that I haven't done one before now. And this adorable apprentice witch..lol..is named Sitting Witch Tilda and I leaned here against the Pumpkin & Leaves. Both images are from Magnolia and you can purchase them at Diana's store, Magnolia-licious. If she doesn't have them in stock, you can just ask her and she will order them in for you.


I gave my Big Shot machine quite a work out. I used my Spellbinders Nestabilities. I have the various circle and scalloped-circle sets, but I don’t know which sizes I used for this card. I just played around with the die cuts to see which circle fits into which scalloped circle which fits into which circle which fits into which…and so on—you get the picture.

This mini card is only as big as your largest die cut. In this case it is 4 1/8 inches in diameter. And of course this is an easel card, which makes it even cuter when it’s that small. Hmm…new obsession maybe?

Ooh, lots of challenges that I can use this card to enter with. It seems to be the time of year where everyone focuses on Halloween.

Double Dutch – Challenge 54 – Boo to you!
Papertake Weekly – 3 of a kind. I’m sure I have at least 3 of a lot of things here, but the most obvious is there are 3 base circles.

I was inspired to make this card when I saw Marianne's card and you can see hers in her posting here. This being a mini card, there is hardly any space to write your personal messages on, so there is a third circle that has been added. This is secured with a brad and you can swing this to and fro to reveal the hidden circle underneath. She is one smart cookie! I just luuvvv…this idea.
