Muse 127

Last week when I was feeling miserable with a sore throat and swollen glands, guess what popped through the door to cheer me up ?

Ta-ra.....

This card from a very famous lady in blogland ....Darnell!!!,isnt the colours just so bright and cheerful?I know the suprise card brought a huge smile to my face.!Thanks Darnell and thanks for the belated birthday wishes.It appears that Darnell will always be that little bit older than me as her birthday is the day before mine ;)

Now onto my card this week for Muse.I wanted to capture the beautifully clean and crisp look of Joan's card,so decided to go with her colour scheme of green ,red and turquoise,think Darnells card was inspiring me with the colours too !

I used SU tempting turquoise linen card stock for a bit of texture and also their ink, and W9 flower/leaves stamps.I also wanted to make my focal point between the leaves as Joan had done .To bring my own stamp to the card I used sequins instead of hearts and my sentiment under my flowers -the middle one i popped up .I missed out the  twine ..I struggle with adding twine Im just all fingers and thumbs so it just looks a mess,love to see it on others cards though and often suffer from twine envy in fact! Must look for a tutorial. :)

Thanks for taking the time to look
