I have a card today for Muse #19, where our muse is the always inspirational Michelle. I am also entering this card into the Simon Says....Anything Goes challenge as well as the Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge Into the Woods. Michelle's beautiful card gave me a chance to make a card in the folk art style--something I have admired for a while, but never attempted myself.
Michelle's Inspiration Card |
Here is my take on Michelle's card. I was inspired by the layout and the folk art style. I used images from Sending You, and then impressed with a wood grain impression plate.
Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps: Sentiment Signs, Sending You
Paper: White
Ink: Simply Chartreuse, Hibiscus Burst, Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, Harvest Gold, Colorbox Orange Fizz, Memento Angel Pink, Versafine Onyx Black
Other: Wood Grain Impression Plate
Thanks for Visiting
This is beautiful Joyce. Your stamping looks amazing and the woodgrain IP adds just the right finishing touch.
