Here's my card for this week's Muse challenge, where Therese has provided us with this inspiration:
I focused on the shape of the tree, but reversed the colour scheme and used different techniques. I cut a nestability triangle out of gumball green (love the embossed edge!) and popped it up on a white card. I then used some enamel dots that we made by melting Perler beads (it really works!) as decorations. The sentiment is from Savvy.
Your card is a CAS stunner, Ardyth! Love you reversed the colour scheme! How clever! May
ReplyDeleteGreat take on Therese's card Ardyth. I love it.
ReplyDeleteYou totally outsmarted me on this one, Oh my, I adore it Ardyth! and here I was thinking I was channeling my inner you lol.
ReplyDeleteTotally does it for me, Ardyth!! Now why didn't I think of that? Hope I find a minute or two to spare today...

ReplyDeleteOk, your dots look like candy; I see I'm going to have to try this really soon. LOVE this card. The green is perfect, and the die with its embossed edges is so cool. You're enabling me again, lol!! Have a great weekend. Bev
ReplyDeleteThis is a cute take on the inspiration card Ardyth! I'm just not used to seeing so much color on a card from you. lol But it sure did turn out super cute!! Aren't the homemade enamal dots addicting?! lol Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteThe embossing around the die really makes it stand out, Ardyth. Love the melted dots, too.
ReplyDeleteSo cool, Ardyth ... that gorgeous green is so striking! I was playing with the idea of negative space for Muse too ... your creative thought patterns must've spanned the ocean ... that or a smidge stayed absorbed from the Lake House!! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteThis is utterly stunning Ardyth.

I love this card and I love your style. I always look forward to your blog postings. Can you tell me how YOU made the enamel dots? I have watched several videos and they are all different. Different temps, different beads, different amt. of time in oven, etc. I want to do it but prefer to get it right the first time! Thanks
ReplyDeletetonilea
wow, fabuloso :)
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have a signature style..
Love it!! You are the Queen of CAS and I always look forward to your next brilliant design. This one is perfect!
ReplyDeleteWow - love the cool 'border' imprint that the die left...it really seems to highlight the tree and the sweet Perler bead decorations!
ReplyDeleteLove how you reversed everything on this card. Makes a very cool tree. Your home made enamel dots are fantastic. I should try this, as we probably still have oodles of those things around.
