A Spinner Easel Card

I hadn't planned on doing a card for the JustRite Challenge this time, even though I LOVE easel cards. I was trying to clean off my desk and get everything put away because I really don't need to be doing any cards and I have to stay off the computer as much as possible, which hasn't been easy ! I really miss seeing all the blogs I love, but I haven't even looked at my reading list in ages, and my email inboxes are a total nightmare.

 Anyway, cleaning my desk was, as always, an exercise in futility. I am so easily distracted ! This time it was a sheet of Anna Griffin paper that got me. It reminded me of a dresser scarf my Grandmother had with cross-stitching on it. That made me think of the old silver dresser sets with the beautiful hand mirror and brush etc.. And once again, I was drawn to the Spellbinders Gold Majesty Circles (somebody needs to take that set away from me :) ). This time, I cut out the centre to make a spinner card. I used TH Brushed Pewter Distress Stain to colour the diecut. I used Spellbinders Locking Loops instead of lace on the edge, because it has kind of a cross-stitch look to it.
I used some original JR stamps on the spinner from the "Sending You Sunshine"set and also I used stamps from the gorgeous " Grateful Heart Vintage Labels Two" set. I added blanket stitching, velvet ribbon, pearls, a butterfly and bow to keep with the feminine theme.

Here is the other side of the spinner with some tiny flowers I made ( and glued to my fingers with hot glue ).

The label on the base flips up to show a duplicate label without the sentiment so I can sign the card.

To all the Bloggers whose works I adore and you know who you are ! I miss seeing your work so much and I am dying to catch up, and I will as soon as things get a little better.
