Just saying hello at Muse #39

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

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.

Muse #31

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

Smile

This card is actually a mini card – but still pretty in its own right. I tried my hand at some layered stamping to create a one layer card. I felt however that the card needed a little lift, so I added some teal spotty washi tape and a strip inked with Raspberry Jam Hero Arts ink. So it is almost a one layer card 🙂

This week I wanted to do something a little different – so I have made a shaped card. I purchased a cute Sizzix Big Owl #2 die from a craft expo that I recently went to – and I love it! (Therese – I’ve finally used it!)

Hey There – Muse

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

muse_logo

I have a very CAS card for you this week.

To create the ombre background I used Copic markers and kept blending the colours together until I had a smooth gradient (see the supplies for the colours I used). I then die cut the word ‘hey’ and used the negative space. The ‘there’ is white heat embossed.

Hi,
I am back again today sharing another card at the Muse Card Club.

This week I have a card using some of my favourite colours – teals and blues. I created the background by cutting strips in varying widths and adhering them to a panel. I then white embossed my images over the top. The small dots are white enamel accents.
