Here's my card for this week's Muse challenge, where Tracey has provided us with a lovely floral inspiration:
I focused on Tracey's:
-colour scheme (combined the orange and yellow!)
-use of solid floral stamps
-swoopy green stem
-black sentiment
-stitched border on her white panel
I used:
-Stampin' Up Bodacious Blooms (retired) for the stem (PTI New Leaf)
-Impress 6 petal daisy (MFT Razzleberry)
-Papertrey sentiment (Versafine Onyx)
-MFT diagonal stitched square die
All of the stamps are old favourites of mine. I have determined that I really should be focusing on developing my skill and style rather than constantly buying new product (as fun as that is!). I can tell you that the Canadian/US foreign exchange rate (worst in 13 years!) is really going to help me with this!
Very pretty design, wonderful flower! I love the colors that Tracey chose, and your "rendition" is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing CASE Ardyth - love this stunner.

Perfection. That is all...perfection :)!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Ardyth!
ReplyDeleteLove this! That stem is fabulous and the big yellow enamel dot is awesome!
ReplyDeleteSomeone else was commenting on the exchange rate recently. I've put myself on a year long shopping ban. The amount of stuff in my craft room is ridiculous, especially how much of it is NBUS. I am determined to try and make use of everything at least once!
what a great CAS design! a lovely inspired card!
ReplyDeleteSwoopy green stem draws me right in, Ardyth!
ReplyDelete=]
Beautiful Ardyth! Clean, bright and happy card. Great take on Tracey's inspiration card.
ReplyDeleteArdyth this is just so gorgeous! I love how you were inspired and your solid bloom is perfection. We need to support each other and not buy when the dollar is so poor! We can do it!
ReplyDeleteJust knew you would make a stunner this week and you proved me right...love it !!!x

ReplyDeleteThis is such a bright and graphic take on Tracey's card! Such perfect stamping.
ReplyDeleteI love how your old tried and true stamps starred in this brilliant card, Ardy! It's like they were waiting for this day!! Miss you! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have a stamp for everything so I can't imagine you needing more, Ardyth. I struggle to find something I have to make cards with a sketch or photo inspiration. Your old favorites were perfect for a take on Tracey's card.
ReplyDeleteWOW, Ardyth!!!! Simply beautiful!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!!!
AH-MAZ-ING!!! The colors are fabulous but the bold design elements steal the show!
ReplyDeleteYou are so amazing with CAS cards. Beautiful.
ReplyDeletePretty card Ardyth!!
ReplyDeleteJust LOVE your card! Always appreciate your inspirations.
ReplyDeleteStunning card Ardyth...and I love your gorgeous flower xx
ReplyDeleteVery stylish, and a great take on Tracey's sketch! Love the juicy colours. Good luck with the spending ban - poor exchange rates are always a good deterrent.
ReplyDeleteSo fresh and zesty, Ardyth ... a breath of spring! Looking forward to seeing what you find in your stash!! Hugs & bisous, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE this card Ardyth! The bold color, flower, and border are all perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove your card, Ardyth. I love your interpretations of the MUSE cards. Often, your approach is something that I never would have thought of - only wish I had. Thank you for sharing your vision, style and creativity.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the inspiration and reminder to use my existing stash of supplies, instead of reaching for my credit card and purchasing items with an unreasonable exchange rate. If YOU can do it, I certainly can try too - right?
