Muse 49 - Thank you!


Ah! I feel warmer already! This polar vortex has resulted in cold winter temperatures that have forced me to stay inside a lot this week, but Laurie's sunny Muse cheered me right up. Great fresh colours and a lovely message, too!


I focused on the shapes and colours that Laurie used. The flower is from Impress and the sentiment is from EMDash. I gave the flower a little 'dimension' by shading the petals with copic markers. It's an easy way to give your simply-stamped images a bit more interest!

There is still time for you to play along with us - the deadline is Monday morning at 8:00 am EST. Then you can vote until Tuesday morning, and the winners will be announced on Tuesday at noon.

  13. I'm finally getting a chance to catch up on my visiting and blogger is erasing and giving me an error message on every other blog! Aacckk! And it doesn't matter what operating system I use.

    So, Ardy, I hope you don't mind that I am just going to say that I have caught up with each post I've missed and tell you in this one comment box how much I love each and every one! You'd think, after a while, that you might hit a sour note, but nope, each creation is more brilliant and creative than the last one!! You WOW me every single time!!

    I hope you are enjoying the weekend! Hugs, Darnell

  16. ...giggled at Darnell's comment...we have all come to expect perfection at every visit...and we are NEVER disappointed!

    The green card base - stunning! I'm quite sure that 9.9/10 of us would have reached for yellow or orange! Beautiful shading of the petals! Love the sentiment stamp!

  19. Just the kind of warmth I like in this wintertime! Here no snow, but slowly getting a little bit colder and no sign of snow, but sun in the middle of the day...healty weather! Have a good week and warm greetings, Gerrina
