Since time is running at the second challenge at Muse Card Club, I made a gift card enclosure tonight using this week's colors from ColourQ.
Aren't those delicious colors for Valentines?! And that wreath! HellO!
The guest designer this week for Muse is the incredible Suzanne Dahlberg of the card yard. Suzanne's stunning card is very clever and very cheerful.
Suzanne has generously included a video on her blog showing how she made the rounded top. It works very well, so I hope you will go and check it out if this is new to you, like it was for me. You can see that I didn't get it prezactly right, but I like the idea, so I'll be using this design again. Thank you, Suzanne!
I used pink vellum, and a Sizzix daisy die, along with designer series papers, vanilla, and early espresso from Stampin Up!. This was the first time I added vanilla to my espresso and it was really zinging-dinging. Tomorrow I'll serve it to Mister for dessert with crumb cake, as we sit on a bed of river rock.
Mr. Blogger keeps popping up a pop-up saying he can't do what I asked, but I haven't even asked yet, so I don't know what's going on or if this will post or what time it will post.
See you tomorrow! If you are just waking up, enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy your
day. LITS!
