Muse, Moxie, Inkspirational, VV

The other day I said I made a couple of cards that came out just the way I wanted and today's the day to post them.  This first one is for Muse inspired by this card from Therese Calvird


and Moxie Fab World's Tree-mendous Trees.


It's a very literal take on Therese's card but I had this die from SSS and knew it was perfect for the challenge cut in gold foil paper.  The sentiment from PTI is embossed in gold and I added a few red and clear gems.

The next card uses the negative of the die.


I mounted the negative over silver foil and cut the word dies from the same SSS set in red foil.  I cut two more words from plain red paper and stacked them for some dimension.  I will enter this card at Inkspirational where the cue word is "Shine"  and at Virginia's View All Things Metallic.


I'm glad you stopped by.  I love reading your comments so won't you please leave one.

That gorgeous gold tree works perfectly for the challenges! You could also link it up at the SSS Flickr Group Challenge which is featuring die cutting :)

Well, if you aren't a winner at MUSE, that'll be too weird. And the same goes for the other challenges. WOWZA, Bobby, your tree is mind-blowing!! I would wear that on my jacket!! I love your negative design, too!! Hugs, Darnell
