Muse Challenge # 128

Once again I'm slipping in with a card at the last moment. When I saw Michele's gorgeous card for the Muse Challenge  this week, I knew I wanted to join in, I just had to find time.


Isn't this so wonderful with the green against all that crisp white!! Michele also asked us to do some dry embossing, which is something I don't do very often. So I dusted off my favourite folder and took it for a spin:



I dry embossed the front panel of my card and then jumped into some die-cutting. I die-cut the flowers from some silver CS and glued them to the card. I then die-cut the 'hugs' from some green CS and twice from white CS before sticking them all together and popping up on foam tape. I also stamped the sentiment in black on a small piece of white CS and put on foam tape. I hope Michele likes it!!

The embossing folder is from Couture Creations. The flower dies are from Paper Smooches 'Dainty Flowers' and the 'hugs' die is from Winnie and Walter. The sentiment is also from W&W 'The Big, the Bold and Friends'.

I'm also going to link this to the Winnie and Walter 'Join in to Win' Challenge where they want to see your cards using their products.

I've got two more cards to list (yes, I managed to find some crafty time over the weekend....) and a few cards to finish off today. Luckily I have the day off from any gardening jobs, so can sit in the quiet (with the kids at school) and watch horror movies while I stamp. Yay!!

Take care
Shona
