Muse Christmas Visions #98

Hi Everyone,

my teamie Lindsey made an interesting Christmas card to spark our imagination over at MCV.



I must say, it was a real challenge for me.
This is her card:


So, after some serious thinking, I went with the snowflakes and the blue color. The snowflakes are one stamp by Hero Arts, the sentiment is also Hero Arts, but a different set. I added some Wink of Stella and Perfect Pearls for a bit of shimmer. It does not show very well...

I also added a poem to the inside of my card:


This is by a British Stamp company.



You have until Monday April 30th 8 AM to play along - what do you think? Do you feel the challenge? I am curious, with what you can come up.

Linking up with:
Merry Monday - favorite poem

Time to ink them up! Used Kraft card stock and stenciled the coffee cup. Took the paper cup stamp and stamped it repeatedly over the stenciled cup and masked it. Colored them in rainbow colors - that's where summer comes in - most rainbows you are going to see during summer. Added the sentiment.
