OLW59 Inspiration Challenge

Susan's One-Layer Wednesday challenge this week is to let this picture from Pinterest inspire our creativity. Usually my thoughts evolve as I put ideas to paper, but this week I instantly thought of my PTI Year Of Flowers Collection and the Savvy Outline Dot Background stamp. The challenge for me was making it a one-layer card. I will still cover the sentiment with a popped up message later. In retrospect, I should have found a bolder,  larger sentiment for this instead of trying to squeeze one between dots.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,

OLW42: I've Got the Music in Me

ETA:  Well, it was bound to happen. My friend Carol and I have very similar cards for the challenge. I started not to post mine, but what the heck. Carol,  I swear I didn't see your card before making mine. I guess great minds really do think alike ...

A fabulous challenge this week from Jennifer Styles:  to create a one layer musically themed card. I started with a totally different card in mind, but couldn't make it work. So I went a totally different direction, and I'm very happy with the outcome. In fact, I already made two more cards while I had everything out. Sometimes I just make things too difficult . . . and that's not just in card making lol

The musical score stamp is from Stampendous and the sentiment is from Savvy. I added some black glitter to the treble clef with a Copic Spica pen. The inside sentiment is from Verses. I wish now I had added some little music notes on the inside in red . . . I think I'll go back and do that.

Thank you for stopping by today.

OLW20 Three Plus One

More evidence of my recent A Muse splurge (see post below) and again inspired by the fab Julie Ebersole. I embossed the Queen Anne's Lace with white embossing powder . . . don't you just love how white looks on kraft?! The leaves are also from A Muse and stamped in PTI Ripe Avocado. The sentiment is Savvy . . . a previous splurge . . . 'nuf said.

Thanks for the visit.

Hugs,
