Easel Does It.... Challenge

Well so much for the sunshine......the rays ceratinly didn't last that long as it is now raining and still very chilly........oh well that means we won't be venturing out today so I am staying indoors in my favourite place.
I definetely feel inspired today and have made another card for a challenge that I haven't entered before.
Its over on Daring Cardmakers and the challenge is

Easel Does it
This weeks challenge is to make an easel card. There's a big clue in the title, huh?
They are so very popular at the moment but I'm hoping at least some of you will be up for my extra "sting in the tail" to this Dare - I don't want it to be too easy, you know....what I'd really love is to see what type of shape (other than a square) you can come up with using the basic Easel card idea.
So you can go for the easy option and make the simple version of the easel card, or if you're brave enough,go for the shaped option.
Do you dare?
 
I used pearlescent cream card for the base.
For the heart I used a heart shaped card that I have had in my stash for a while as the template.
The Wedding Day and Congratulations sentiments are from Forever Friends - Going to the Chapel Clear stamps. Stamped with Versa Color Gold pigment ink.
Prima Flowers with Card Candy from Crfatwork Cards for the centre.
 
Thanks for looking.
I loved this challenge and already have another card idea in my head to have a go at.........
See you all again soon.
