Happy Anniversary


Happy happy Friday eve my friends.  One week from today we'll be off on vacation.  I'm starting to get into panic mode just a bit, but it will all get done...it always does!  So before I'm off to get ready for work (as I type this on Wednesday morning), I am popping in to share a card with you for the current MUSE challenge.  I don't have any owl stamps so when I saw this week's inspiration card from Marion (so adorable by the way!) I went with the colors and a touch of pattern.  I inked up my stamps and then stamped my CAS-ual Friday houndstooth stamp on them with Versamark ink to create a touch of pattern/texture.  I love how it adds just a touch of dimension.

How about you?  Playing along with the MUSE challenge this week?  Any vacations coming up soon?

Great technique and take on the Muse challenge. I have some ideas brewing but nothing yet for that one!

We are headed to the Great Smoky Mountains in TN for our vacation in August. Where are you off to?

I think this is the PS reflections set-I haven't used this for a while now-your card has made me think it is time to ink it up-I love how you have just inked up the top section and used the DSP as a cut off from the white space-gorgeous x

Lynn what a beautiful card, I think you made the perfect card for Muse. I hope that you get it all together, as I know you will and have a wonderful vacation!!

Maureen said...

oh, you've matched those colours perfectly! Love the patterns! Nope, no trips here (unless you bought an extra ticket by mistake! lol). But I love being home too and puttering around, doing the things I enjoy with more time.

Gorgeous mix of bright colours! Good luck with all the prep -- it always comes together in the end :)

Fun technique, and I adore the primary color palette! No plans for vacation yet. We've had a lot of other expenses come up, so we're just hoping to take a long weekend someplace close to home.

Have a great vacation. We are having a family reunion the last week of July at the lake. My parents are the last of their generation so everyone is coming here since they can't travel.

Love the texture you added to these stamps with the houndstooth pattern!

Those houndstooth flowers are fantastic! What a great idea. I think it takes the card to a whole new level.
