Today is the first week of a new challenge called Muse from Jackie. The basic idea is to be inspired by others, to use only what is in your stash and to encourage each other. This week Amy's card here and below, is our inspiration.
Here is my card and below I will share with you where I got my inspiration from:
I was drawn to the impressed centre frame of Amy's card and immediately thought I could use scoring to replicate this feel. I also liked the use of the stripey paper background. And as I have a stash of un-used patterned paper, this was a great way to use some. The striped paper I have used here is nearly 2 years old and has never been used! And the final thing that inspired me was her big, cheerful flower.
I then drew inspiration for Jen's DT card at Retro Sketches. I love this layout and thought it would work perfectly for my 'Muse' card.
I knew I wanted to use my 'Garden of Life' PTI stamp set, all I needed was colours. And after browsing for a bit found I would have a stab at using the combo this week at ColourQ.
Before I go here is Amy's card:
So some scoring, stamping, fussy cutting and embossing (sorry its the linen again!!) and I finished my first 'muse' card inspired from a number of different sources!

I LOVE that you stamped some of the flowers in pink....along with the pop of bright yellow. The layout you've used is awesome (I just played along with this challenge as well.....fab sketch) The one touch I really like is the rounded corner....Love it! Thanks for using my card for inspiration!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat card, Sandie. I too love the rounded corners and the central sentiment strip. It is a card that looks simple but is full of techniques that are well done.
ReplyDeleteOoh! That yellow and pink together is so pretty, Sandie!
