MCV16 - Joy


Here's my card for this week's Muse: ChristmasVisions challenge where Betty has given us this sparkly, elegant inspiration:





I focused on Betty's:
-colour combination - cream, lime, grey, red, silver and gold
-stitching (I used MFT Blueprints 25)
-elements - glittery silver circle and glittery gold heart. Mine are smaller.
-theme - Joy (thanks to Janet for reminding me that this is a W Plus 9 die).

I CAS-ified it by:
-leaving a bigger border around the focal panel
-reducing the size of the circle and heart
-reducing layers (no polka dots)
-increasing the scale (but reducing the number) of stripes
-reducing embellishments (no sequins)

I hope you'll get a chance to play along with us this week - the deadline is Wednesday at 8 am. At that time you can vote for your 3 favourites until Thursday at 8 am. Voting results will be posted on Thursday at noon. Hope to see you there!

    As always I love seeing how you break down a fussy card and capture the essence of it in a CAS design. You seriously rock at that!
