| Muse Inspiration by Jackie |
The Muse challenge is celebrating one year. I loved the idea of peers voting for the winners & participated in a lot of their challenges. Usually I did more or less a CASE of the Muse, but for this week I took inspiration from negative die cuts backed with a dotted background. For some reason, I thought of stars, even though I'm in the middle of making Valentines. Maybe I needed a break--LOL! My only heart dies are Tim Holtz Stacked Stars which cut all 4 stars at once. I'm not complaining, though, since I got it in a big close-out after Christmas. My background is Hero Arts Dots stamped in Memento Love Letter & Nautical Blue & sprayed with Glimmer Mist for a wonderful shimmer. The sentiment is from Peddler's Pack--an Oregon company. I've been saving my last 2 Doodlebug Cute Clips & this one is just what I needed to finish off my card. I did some faux stitching around each heart with my white gel pen--not as scary since it's pretty subtle.
At least I have one 4th of July card done for sure! Thanks for visiting my blog--I love connecting through this great hobby.
This is one cool 4th of July card! I like the element you used from the muse card and yet it is still a completely different card!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun red and blue polka dotted stars! Love the little ribbons and sentiment too!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the negative die for the 4th July, Greta! Love the combination of the polkas on the stars and ribbons make the card complete!
