if you have pretty flowers, butterflies are sure to be nearby, so of course everything's rosy from a muse has several to choose from. my card today features the big and bold flutterby. it's a solid image, but inspired by a punched woodgrain butterfly featured on the a muse news recently, i decided to stamp one using the kissing technique. after a couple of tests on scratch paper, it worked best to ink up the butterfly, stamp it on the clean modern wood block, and then stamp the modern wood block on the paper. once i figured out how to get the clearest image, the card came together easily. and how perfect is that sentiment?
i couldn't get to the computer yesterday, so you get double the rosy today! this card features wild rose and wild rose branch, for a touch of everyday elegance. the branch can stand alone to create a pretty leaf pattern, but has the perfect spots to add in the coordinating rose. i trimmed close enough to the leaves to have the roses hanging out of the box, and added a few sparkles to the center of each rose and over the sentiment. the outcome is simply a muse, and so very elegant! i'm late in the day today, so you've probably already seen the fabulous samplings from my fellow muses, but if not, be sure to check 'em out! meanwhile on the a muse news blog, some winners have been announced, but the fun isn't over yet...
enjoy & good luck!
