Muse #88

Hi Everyone,

it has been a while that I have played at the Muse challenge - just not enough time.....I would love to play in every challenge, but that is impossible. But my talented friend Vicki Dutcher had made such a great card (you'll see it below) - I had to play along....


I bought those beautiful sequin dies from MFT a while ago and now they have their debut - I thought they are just perfect for this. The largest "sequin" I made with a punch. I used gold metallic paper.


The sentiment is by STAMPlorations Sentiment Builders: Celebrate 
, heat embossed on vellum. Added some fine gold thread for extra interest.
Here is Vicki's beauty:



Perhaps it stretching it too much, but I also thought it would fir this weeks Freshly Made Sketches sketch - I just made the central panel larger....

Dramatic, eyecatching and so fabulous, Cornelia ... your cascade of sequins is gorgeous! I'm thinking you also used the teeny tiny centre circles ... such attention to detail ... they're the perfect touch! Anita :)

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car
