Muse 67 - Happy Birthday!



Therese's card for this week's Muse Challenge is so fun and edgy!



I focused on the inlaid die cut, the colour scheme and the general layout. I used my trusty Papertrey flowers, a Papertrey Happy die and part of a Papertrey birthday sentiment, cut out with my SU! word punch. I made my own enamel dots for the flower centres by putting Crystal Effects on some cardstock circles cut with punches.

I hope you'll get a chance to play along this week - the deadline is Monday at 8 am EDT. After that, you can vote until Tuesday at 8 am, even if you don't get a chance to link up a card. The results of the vote will be posted on Tuesday at noon. Can't wait to see where this Muse takes you!

  3. I love the fun combination of color and and fonts on your card, Ardyth. Your homemade enamel dots are great. (I have to add that I'd love to see a project made with the aid of your super duper stamp positioner Virginia Lu mentioned.)

  5. First of all, I totally admire your patience in waiting for the flower centres to dry...without poke testing them!

    Love the boldness of the flowers and the colors! AND, I adore the two shades of grey in the sentiment! It's ideas like this that make your cards beyond AMAZING!

    1. Hi Dee! I made this card long before I started making videos, but I do have a video about inlaid die cutting that uses very similar techniques with different products: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OREpVRHozsA
