Penny Black at Allsorts May Challenge

Well, I didn't even manage to get this post up yesterday before everything went pear shaped, so I decided to give up and do 2 posts today instead.

The theme for Penny Black at Allsorts this month is 'Shape Up' anything that's not square or rectangle.  On top of that they are also having a design team call.

First off I've made this shaped easel card using 2 die cut frames I received in a swap/rak.  I've popped a little stamped cat image behind that I have coloured with Distress Inks and then I've embellished to my hearts content!

All the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the little pearl heart is from MEI Flower and the other pearls are from a BasicGrey pack.

Here's a side view of how I made up the easel.

I'd also like to enter this one for:

Craft Us Crazy #8 - Favorite embellishments
Lothian Crafts #14 Easel card

After that I had a bit of a crisis, does this still count as square?  Well to be certain I dug out my Penny Black Stickeroos and made this little 'Plate' card.

I've die cut a scaloped nestie and then put the sticker on a cream circle and added some faux stitching and flowers.  There's also a little fishbone charm from MEI Flower.  The stand is cut from another piece of cream card.

I'd like to enter this one for the My Time To Craft challenge #140 - Scallops (as well as for Penny Black at Allsorts if the first one doesn't count!).
