Flowers that Never Fade...

Deanna Jean's' MUSE card

Have you seen this weeks gorgeous MUSE card from Deanna.  This week my interpretation was very literal - inspired by everything from the gorgeous flowers, the lovely layers, plenty of white space, pops of colour, right down to the pearls and squiggly framed outline.  I added some embossing, and a negative die-cut frame to highlight my We R Memory Keeper blooms and fab sentiment from Purple Onion Designs, stamped in Hero Arts Navy.

Playing along with this weeks Retro Sketches Anniversary Sketch and Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes.

My Favourite Colour Q ...

What can I say, I just LOVE colour combos with any hint of blue/green, and this weeks combo from Colour Q is a new favourite.  Used my very cute Eiffel Tower die-cut to create these two cards, based on this weeks gorgeous My Favorite Things Card sketch.  Papers are a mix from Kaisercraft, MME, The Scrap Cake and We R Memory Keepers.  Top card sentiment is from My Favourite Things, bottom card sentiment is created from Paper Smooches Alphadots.

There She Goes on a CASual Play Date...

Loving the brights this week at The Play Date Cafe - decided that I am definitely a brights girl when it comes to crafting.  I combined this weeks stunning colour palette with this weeks CAS-ual Friday paper piecing challenge and There She Goes negative die cut challenge.  The lighter blue cloud and grass are created from negative die cuts in the white cardstock.  The gorgeoous Paper Smoochers sun and WeR Memory Keepers bee are stamped onto October Afternoon paper and cut out, and together with the darker blue clouds are all pop-dotted for added dimension.  The sentiment is Paper Smooches too.

Hope the sun is shining in your corner of the world too!

PS. This put a smile on my face too :)
