Muse 18


I'm in stage two of  'empty bin' mode - I got quite a lot of cards finished on the weekend, after meeting up with my friend who basically cleaned me out of all the cards I made during stage one (thank you, my dear friend!!).

I decided to be efficient and make one of the thank you cards my submission for this week's Muse challenge. Here's Marion's beautiful inspiration card:



I focused on the rainbow of colours in the outlined flowers and used one of my old favourites, from Unity, along with a new favourite, the Inkadinkado sentiment. BTW, originally that wooden sentiment had "my way of saying" above the thanks. I popped the stamp into the microwave for 15 seconds, to loosen the glue and then just snipped off the extra words, knowing that I would get so much use from this simple, clean 'thanks'.

  7. *Happy Sigh* This is just plain old fun! It makes me smile just looking at it. Love the flowers, and their colors. Great tip too for separating rubber stamps from their blocks. You are so darn clever!! I love this card, Ardyth. Bev

  8. Loved your clean take on the inspiration card. So bright & cheery, and thanks for the tip on changing out a sentiment stamp to get more use from it. I'm always timid about doing this on wooden stamps. Thought I had joined here as a follower, didn't see 'me', so I just signed on again!!! Have you bookmarked so I can get back to you again, plus put your site link in my database of followers! Sorry I haven't been back to visit sooner...that will change. TFS & Hugs

  13. Brave lady....slicing and dicing up your stamps. Great idea though - a simple "Thanks" stamp is so much more versatile.

    Awesome job shading the petals - the highlights look great! Beautiful colors :)
