Just saying hello at Muse #39

Hello. I am back with another card for the Muse Card Club.

muse_logo

Just saying hello

This card was inspired by a new blue and white stripe t-shirt that I bought for my daughter. It goes to show that inspiration can be found anywhere. The little bird die cut is nestled in so it has a flush finish. I love doing this.

Here are some of the guidelines if you are unfamiliar with how Muse works.

  • Use the Muse card as inspiration, explain your interpretation and link back to Muse.
  • Provide supportive comments to at least 3 of your fellow member’s submissions.

Hello butterfly

Hello. It’s time for another sketch challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps. We have quite a simple sketch this month – so interpret it any way you like.

To create the rainbow chevron pattern on the tag, I used an arrow stamp from the Splat Attack stamp set. The background cross-hatch stamping on the card is BBD#5 – I just stamped it in both directions. I think I use this stamp somewhere most weeks as I love it! Tone on tone stamping rocks – in my opinion 🙂 The sentiment comes from BBD#8.

Dad You Rock!

*If you are looking for the AnnaBelle Stamps Blog hop and Giveaway, see post below this one*

I’m back with a card that I made on behalf of my kids for my hubby’s birthday which was yesterday. He told me it is the best card I have made him – so I guess it gets the thumbs up! Gotta love that.

It didn’t take long to put together. The chevrons behind the cut-out letters is washi tape.
