Welcome back to another week at the Muse Card Club.

This week’s card is a very CAS card with some simple Copic colouring.

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.
• Vote for 3 of your fellow member’s submissions that you find inspiring, once voting opens.

For the full challenge guidelines go here.

And just before I go, my family and I had the privilege of accompanying my husband to the USA on a business trip this past few weeks. We spent one week in Florida and the other in California. When in San Francisco we hired bikes and rode across the Golden Gate Bridge. I must admit I was unprepared for the cold weather in San Francisco!

And no trip would be complete without a visit to Disneyland. Here is my daughter finally getting to meet one of her favourite Disney characters.

Hope you can find some time to play along at Muse this week,

I’m back today for AnnaBelle Stamps to highlight the feature stamp set of this month, which is the Remember When Stamp set.

I have really loved the latest online card class – Watercolour for Card makers. For my card today I painted a stamped image with distress inks as shown on Day 5 and 6. I really felt like an artist and I loved how it turned out!

I’m back with another card for the Online card class – Watercolor for Cardmakers.

Both of these cards use the technique of inking an acrylic block, spritzing with water and then stamping, as shown by Laura Bassen on Day 1. I love the unpredictablitiy of this technique.

The ‘thanks’ is die cut and is recessed into the panel, whereas the ‘hello’ is die cut and 3 layers are placed on top of the focal panel.

Hello…remember me? I know its been a long time. There have been several reasons for my absence, but mostly I just needed a break from card making. Ever been there?

Anyway, I am currently taking the Online card class – Watercolor for Cardmakers and I made a card!

For this card I created a watercoloured background using distress markers. Firstly I heat embossed the background stamp in white embossing powder and then roughly coloured the image in with Distress Markers. I then spritzed the panel with water and watched the colours blend.

Once dry I cut out the letters and inlaid them back in to create a flush image.

I hope to be back really soon.

This week at AnnaBelle Stamps, Kylie and I are showcasing the Fanciful Flowers Stamp set.

I kept things simple by white heat embossing onto blue cardstock and adding a pop of colour with a piece of patterned paper down the side.

Be sure to check out Kylie’s  card using this set as well.

Hello. A new month means a new monthly challenge AnnaBelle Stamps.

I had some fun with the Scribble Scrabble 1 – Round and Round stamp set where I did some first and second generation stamping using some Hero Arts inks. I popped up the main focal image with some foam dots to add some dimension.

Be sure to check out the rest of the Belles’ projects – their links are on my side bar. I hope that you will be able to find some time to play along.

Until next time,
