Made it … phew … back for another post with my second card of the day. The lovely and talented Karen from Made by Meadie is the Guest Designer at Muse this week and has given us the most gorgeous inspiration card (a bit like all her cards really) … if you haven’t wandered round Karen’s blog, go have a visit, there’s a generous helping of splendid deliciousness waiting for you. At One Layer Wednesday, Karen from Snippets is the host and has set us a wide open challenge … Free For All … very cool. I’m also entering Simon Says Stamp Wednesday‘s Anything Goes challenge and Simon Says Stamp’s Stamptember Event. Finally, as I’ve used a little of my learning from Day 1 of the Insider Online Card Class, this is going in the Gallery there too …
and the inside …
I followed Karen’s muse quite faithfully … I haven’t done very much spongeing or stamping like this, so it was really good to play. I masked off the centre of the card, sponged it with blue and aqua and then stamped the Annabelle Stamps flower clusters … some in lavender to give a very slight shadow and some in a darker blue for a more pronounced one. The nearest clusters were stamped with white versamark, embossed in white (with shimmery bits in). I used a ruler to draw the lines top and bottom and finally added the sentiment.
As with my last card, I did a little something on the inside … sponged a scrap of card, stamped the flower cluster, nestled the second part of the sentiment close to the blooms, trimmed it and edged it in black before popping it up on dimensionals.
One last thing … I’d like to say a big THANK YOU to my fellow Muse players for the Honorable Mention for my flower card last week … I so appreciate it 🙂
That’s my card making weekend complete … I’m off for a meander around blogland. Thanks so much for coming by, your visits and comments are always a delight! Anita 🙂
