Dream Valley Earth Tones

Hi Folks
It's time for a brand new challenge over at Dream Valley.  Thank you all for your entries for our last challenge 'Wedding/Love'.  They were all gorgeous and you made our job very difficult choosing a Top 3.
Our sponsor for this challenge is Bead Crafty who have generously offered £20 to spend in store.
So what is the challenge I hear you all asking.  The theme this time around is EARTH TONES.  You have two weeks to enter and we welcome all sorts of crafts, not just cardmaking.
Here's what I came up with.

The toppers are some that I got free in an issue of Making Cards many months ago.  I thought the colour tones on them fitted the challenge theme quite nicely.  As you can see I made a double twisted easel card.  Simply matted and layered the toppers using coredinations and some brown patterned paper that I had in my stash.  I went round the edge of each topper doing some faux stitching.  The stopper for the easel was done using one of my spellbinder dies to create the lace border.  Some ribbon, bows, card candy, a large flower and sentiment finished the card.
Why not pop over to Dream Valley and check out the awesome work of the rest of my teamies. Such a talented bunch.  Looking forward to seeing all your creations.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Whimsy Stamps - Easel cards r easy
Paperplay - Things with wings
Charisma Cardz - Fancy folds
Delightful Challenges - Stitching
Crafty Catz - Animals (hope the owl is a suitable animal - if not, please delete)

Thanks for popping by.
Take care
