Another day, another card...this time for the current Muse challenge. The guest designer for week 2 is Suzanne Dahlberg:
What isn't there to love about this card? All those bright, happy colours make me smile! My card has been inspired by those very same bright flowers against the black background:
I used Stampin Up's Eastern Gardens for this one, together with the little leaves from the Waltzingmouse Frame It set. The squares are Spellbinders Marvellous Squares - which were being anything but marvellous, as I had terrible problems getting the card out of the die!
Funnily enough I happened to glance at the Play Date Cafe blog and this week's colours fit in with the challenge over there too. I'm not sure how many neutrals you're allowed to use with the chosen colour scheme so I'll just have to have my hand slapped if I've broken the rules:
Have a fantastic day and thanks for any comments...I love reading them!

ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I love the matting squares (even if they weren't being marvelous at the time lol!) And I'm with Jackie, I love how the black background really makes the flower pop! :)

I hate you had problems with the dies but I sure do love them and all of your layers. Leaving that gorgeous flower as the center of attention is perfect.
