A quick post from me to share a card I created for this week's challenge at Muse. The super sweet and uber talented Michele Ferguson created this awesome card for us:
I love how she placed her vellum balloon and long swirly balloon string on to a embossed card base and her use of a bold color on her die cut sentiment...WOW! Here is my very literal interpretation of Michele's card:
It's difficult to see the texture on the embossed panel, so here is a close-up:
I used PTI's Linen/Canvas Impression Plate on the white panel and vellum for the balloon and string. I also wanted a bold sentiment, so I used DCWV 'Brights' for the die cut word and Versafine ink embossed with clear EP for the stamped sentiment. Added a few enamel dots, and that was it!
Thanks so much for stopping by ~

This great Barb, love the bright blue with the vellum. :)
Love the teal - it really pops! So glad you joined us at Muse this week!
LOve this! Love the color, that subtle embossing [totally new to me] of course you rocked the dots, and that little shine on the balloon? which die is that? Thanks for playing cards with me at Muse - and again for yesterday's play-date which I loved even more...

A beautifiul card!

Love your colors & texture for the background--wonderful card, Barb!
Love your take on Michele's card. You know... your balloon totally fooled me, my first thought was that you coated with GA, due to the shadows and the missing piece on top :).
Congrats for being a top pick Barb!
Yay! Congrats on being in the TOP 3! I think of you often and am sorry I've been so out of the loop lately. I'm finally on the mend and now just slowly getting back to creating! Love seeing your cards, as always and wishing you lots of happiness!!
Would love to know what die you've used Barb - such a great look in vellum with the bright sentiment!
