MelJen's Thursday Challenge

Meljen's Designs Challenge this week is to make an easel card. I used the "Artist Mug" digital image on my card. I colored my image with Copic Markers. I added ribbon and a tag. The dp is from my K&Co. and the cardstock is from PTI.

For some reason I have never been able to get an easel card to stand up. I never seem to make them correctly. However, my card is standing and has been doing so for days! I think I finally conquered my easel card phobia:)

I used the Sweet Sketch challenge for inspiration. I also followed the Digital Tuesday Challenge which was to make a Birthday Card.
