MUSE challenge #30

This week's MUSE challenge was based on this fabulous card from Therese Calvird


I loved the black silhouette images against the vibrant shaded background, so I tried for a similar effect on my card.  I used Ranger's glossy paper, and shaded with Distress Inks in Shabby Shutter, Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean, then stamped the image and sentiment with black archival ink.  I added a few tiny black gems to the tree, just for a bit of shine.

MUSE challenge #12

Time for another challenge from MUSE.  This week's card inspiration can be found here.  I loved the way the stamped image was positioned slightly off the left edge of the card, and the way the leaves flowed off to the right from that main image.

I used a couple of heart images on the left side of my card, with the larger one hanging slightly off the edge of the card, and then used a stamped sentiment to flow from that image across the right side of the card.

The sentiment stamp is from Hero Arts and the larger heart stamps are from Simon Says Stamp.
