Reindeer Easel Card

Project #2 of 12 Projects: This is my version of the Easel Card. I was totally inspired by Dawn on her blog site (http://www.dostamping.typepad.com/). I believe the card was designed by Marie. I made it my own by changing out the colors a bit but other than that - the layout is the same for this card. Finished card size is 4-1/4" x 5-1/2".

Here it is opened: exposing the message and as a "easel".
