I was so excited when Lyndal sent me her card for her week as Guest Muse.
I don't know that we've ever had such a dramatic, atmospheric Muse before. The rich colours broken up by the white trees just really spoke to me and I really can't wait to see where it's going to take all you Muse participants!
Here's where it took me. I glued strips of Night of Navy (yes, it looks black), Brilliant Blue (I'm down to my last few scraps of this old but retired favourite!), Tempting Turquoise, White and Summer Sun to a white card and then used this Papertrey Happy die. I cut it out a couple more times in navy, so that I could pop it up. I finished the card with a gold-embossed PTI sentiment.
ETA - for Janelle - the glitter is just Stardust stickles carefully applied and 'smooshed' with my finger to take a bit of it off.
I hope you'll find time to play along with us! The deadline is Monday at 8:00 am eastern. Voting starts at that time and goes until Tuesday at 8:00am and results will be posted at noon on Tuesday.
CAS plus. Score 110 of 100. This really is a happy card for a happy birthday. Love the colors and the sparklies.
