I am so excited for the format of the new Muse-a Card Making Club Challenge site. A card is displayed from a designer that is to be an inspiration- a muse- for the community of card makers. The participants get to encourage each other and vote on submissions they admire most. Amy Kolling’s card was a great one to start off the challenge site!!
I was taken by how the black sentiment jumped out at me among the beautiful soft colors of the yellow flowers and the green leaves. I was also impressed with the white space and the embossing. These elements led me to create this card with the same soft colors with black accents on an embossed background. Amy also inspired me to use my SU Perfectly Preserved set again with its cute little flowers…I just love all the die cuts that come with each image;)
Card Recipe:
STAMPS: SU Perfectly Preserved, SU Itty Bitty Banners

You are quick, Mari! Thank you;) I just finished the final post…
Oh what a darling card! I love the little jar with the flowers in it! Such a beautiful take on the inspiration!
I absolutely love your card Cindy. That jar is cute and I really like the background paper. Beautiful job!
Thanks, Laurie! Your blog looks awesome…I enjoy visiting it;) Love that washi tape on your card!
Thank you, Kay. I loved your winning Dynamic Duos card…such a great design;)
Great take on Amy’s card, Cindy! I love your design with the adorable jar of flowers!!
(I’m sorry you had so much trouble leaving a comment on my post. )
Thanks, Darnell. Once I figured out what I was doing wrong, I had no trouble;) Loved your card for Muse and for PTI- You are so talented!
Cindy your card is as CUTE as can be! The bright yellow flowers in the mason jar are adorable. I’m so loving mason jars lately! 🙂
Thank you, Jackie. I forgot how versatile that set can be…I have not used it since fall with some apples in it. Glad I had the inspiration from this new site. Muse!!
What a sweet jar of sunshine, Cindy!
Thanks, Bonnie. That would have been a great title for the post;) Have a blessed day!
Cindy – what a great take on the Muse challenge! I LOVE that honeycomb embossing! When I read that that was a CB folder, it reminded me that I have that folder and have never used it!! Why have I never used it?!? It’s adorable, as is your jar and sentiment! Thanks for inspiring me!
Thanks, Kimberly. I have the SU Honeycomb EF on the way with a slightly different design to it- I am excited to use it. But this CB one I have had for a while too and used it twice this week! Have fun using yours;)
Beautiful card, love the embossing 🙂
Thank You, Grá. What would we do without embossing? Happy day to you:)
beautiful card! I love the black accents!!
Thanks, Tammy. I forget how versatile black can be;)
