For this week's Muse Challenge, where this week's Muse is Design Team Member, Laurie Willison:

I focused on the chevron Laurie created, the slanted sentiment and the colours. My son tells me these are sergeant stripes, so I guess I also picked up the nautical motif as a military element!
I used Stampin' Up!'s new Chevron border punch to create the chevrons in navy and coral, and popped them up to add some dimension and create a 'channel' for the sentiment.
I hope you'll have time to join us and play along this week! The deadline is Monday at 8:00 am EDT, but even if you can't play along, you can participate by voting for your 3 favourite entries from Monday at 8 until Tuesday at 8. Hope to see you there!

ReplyDeleteLove this, Ardyth. Love the little "thanks" tucked into the 'sergeants' stripes! You are just brilliant. One month and counting... : ) Bev
ReplyDeleteACK! I love this!! SO graphic. I've seen the SU punch, and just found MFT has a chevron die similar to this. It's on my "must have" list. Perfect font/size sentiment, and love that it's the same color as the blue chevron.
ReplyDeleteI saw Bev's comment above, are you visiting her as well on your Chicago trip? That's so awesome!!
wow!! only you can come up with such a simplistic yet stunning interpretation of the Muse :)
ReplyDeleteThe intelligence seeps out of your cards Ardyth, I love these two and it's always a pleasure visiting you :D x

ReplyDeleteStunning, Ardyth ... a perfect 'sentiment gap' in between those sergeant stripes! Anita :)

ReplyDeleteI'm in awe of the way you take a few basic elements and make the perfect statement in a CAS card! This is perfection!
ReplyDeleteI don't know where your wonderful ideas some from but I sure would like to dip in there.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great card!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I will be CASE'ing this, my friend. :) Pure CAS goodness!
ReplyDeleteYour son must have inherited your creative mind to pick up on the nautical theme! LOVE the layered chevrons and the sweet, teenie tiny "thanks", snuggled so comfortably between the dies!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun take on the original card. I like how your sentiment is just tucked in the midst of your chevrons.
ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect card Ardyth! Love the popped up chevrons and the way the sentiment nestles perfectly in there. Vicky x
