Phew - a last-minute Muse card for this week! We've had a lovely (except for the blizzard on Wednesday) March break, and Kate and I have been very busy. Most of this week's posts were scheduled and I spent a good chunk of Saturday catching up and commenting and finally creating my take on Therese's bicycle Muse:
I focused on the colour scheme and the placement of the sentiment and image. Once I finished stamping, I gave some thought to how to incorporate something to represent the vertical lines of the woodgrain. I found this embossing folder and partially embossed the panel. I think it provides some balance to all the 'action' on the left side.
There's one day left for you to play along - the deadline is Monday at 8:00 EDT and then you can vote until Tuesday at 8. The results will be posted on Tuesday at noon! Hope to see you there!
Very sophisticated take. Clean and simple. Well done.
