Gateway Easel Card Using Cricut Art Philosophy, Cricut Artiste and Clementine Paper

Hi fellow bloggers, crafters and friends.  It is a beautiful fall day in Southern CA!  Yes - Fall is finally here.  I hope this finds everyone happy and having a great day.  Please continue to remember the people on the East Coast in your thoughts and prayers as they continue to struggle with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.  I heard there are still many people without power and/or gas.  American Red Cross is taking donations if anyone wants to help.  FYI: CTMH is donating $1 for each of the November 50% special purchases this month to American Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy.  (See special below or on the side bar.)

 

The challenge this week for Tammy's Scrapin Corner is Challenge #36 - Anything Goes; which starts today.  Our sponsors are: Sassy Studios and Eureka Stamps.  This is my first card as a new member of the DT.    I am so excited to be part of Tammy's team.  Our Guest Designer this week is Bettina L.  Be sure to check out her blog.

 

This is my first Easel card and I have combined the Gateway card with the Easel card.  Here is the  tutorial for the Gateway Easel card on Card Making Magic by Christina.   I thought it was a cute idea; so I tried it.  It wasn't hard; but it's like creating two cards.  It took me a little longer to create this one.  I hope you enjoy my creation.  Christina has a lot of really great tutorials and videos on her blog.  Be sure to check it out. 

 

I used both the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge and the Cricut Artiste Cartridge for making this card.  I chose the paper Clementine as it is my favorite right now.  There are several designs with this paper packet.  CTMH markers are so great for coloring the small parts of an image.  They have an end that is small (not quite fine point) and a regular medium point end.  I tried coloring the bench with other markers and they were too big to fit in the small space for the little curves.
