MUSE #85 and NBUS #2

Marion Vagg has this beautiful card for our inspiration at MUSE this week.


I guess I could have done flowers but I wanted something different and since my order from My Favorite Things showed up on my doorstep yesterday, I had the perfect solution.


I had intended to do a single layer card but while trying out the stamps on scrap paper, they came out perfectly.  Why mess with perfection, I always say, so I fussy cut them.  The green berries are stamped directly onto the card with HA soft green and the sentiment with Memento Rich Cocoa.  The leaves are HA Butter Bar and Pale Tomato.

Since this is a new stamp set, I'm also entering this card in darling Darnell's NBUS #2 challenge.

This stamp set wasn't the only thing I ordered, and I also got my order of Penny Black stamps, so I will be entering more cards in this challenge, as soon as I get them made.  I'm off to do that now.

ETA: I just saw the challenge this week at AAA is fussy cutting, so I'm entering my card over there, too.


Thanks for stopping by.  I hope your week goes well.

So perfectly balanced and beautiful, Bobby ... such a lovely seasonal feel! You could also link up to Simply Create Too, their theme is Autumn/Fall! Anita :)

Your card is so wonderful, especially since I'm 'smitten' with leaf dies/images of late! Pretty+++ I second Anita - off you go to Simply Create Too, and 4 Crafty Chicks, while you're at it!

Great idea to use those leaves. I wish I had been that creative.

I love that you went with the leaves, Bobby, so like you to be a rebel and it works perfectly for MUSE and for the time of year it is! I really love the sediment and the soft green leaves laying partway under it. Thank you so much for playing in my second NBUS Challenge!! Hugs, Darnell

Love the fall spin on this week's Muse (and don't forget the card concept - colour challenge - it uses these colours too!).
