Muse #158, Seize the Birthday and Fusion

Happy Easter, Everyone!

I have three cards to show you today.
#1 for Muse, inspired by Tracey's lovely flower.
The hydrangea is from PTI jars, stamped in Vintage Photo DI and watercolored by pulling the color in and adding some Peeled Paint for the leaves.  The sentiment from PB is stamped in Cup O' Joe.
Tracey's card


#2 is for Seize the Birthday - Water
I didn't have any sea shells or fish for one of my design team challenges and decided I needed something to fill that void.  I ordered the Sea Life set from MFT and made this card.  First I smooshed the background then stamped and white embossed the sentiment from PB.  The images were stamped with a variety of inks, black glaze added to the fish eyes and everything popped up.  A little Pico Embellisher makes the bubbles.

#3 is for Fusion - Everything's Owl Right
You know with my owl obsession I HAD to enter this challenge.
Knowing my obsession, my friend Joyce Mehrberg sent me a whole pile of stamped owls several years ago.  I colored with Distress Ink and fussy cut a trio of them to fit in my PPP film strip.  LF's Milo's Letters was used for the sentiment.

I'm glad you took the time to drop by.  Have a wonderful week.

Happy Easter, Bobby. Love all three cards. Your muse flower is stunning, and perfectly colored. Those birthday fish are too fun, and what can I say about those owls?! I have been meaning to pull out some owls to play along with that challenge, and keep getting distracted with other things.

A terrific trio Bobby! Your Muse card is a winner for sure; it's an amazing take on Tracey's card. Soft and lovely. Love your little fishy card too. That watercolored 'sea' is perfect! And your owls...when I saw the challenge I thought of you right away! Kinda like Carol and her butterflies, lol. And it's a fantastic card, too. Fun colors. Hope your Easter was delightful. Bev
