Quick A Muse card

I stamped a little bit today. I had to use those new A Muse stamps. They were begging to be used. So after Rebecca stamped a whole picture with it, it was my turn. I chose a real simple layout and POP designer paper.

Of course I had to use my  All in a Row stamp set again. I just can’t help myself.

The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 8  1/2″ piece of whisper white cardstock folded in half. On top of that is a 4″ square of Rose Red Palette O’ Prints paper. The green strip is 1″ x 4″ layered on a 1 3/8″ x 4″ white strip.

The flower is stamped on whisper white in Black Palette ink and colored with Rose Red and Certainly Celery ink pads and aqua painter.  I used my decorative scissors to make the scallop border around it.

Now…I have been patient. But it’s after 3 p.m. and Mr. Brown still didn’t bring my preordered items. Where the heck is my UPS man. No cookies for him!

I love this card! That paper is just the best and the way you do your own scalloped mats for you sentiments is fabulous! I need to get that paper out and use it some more because it really dresses up a card. I am anxiously waiting my pre-order stuff, but haven’t even gotten a shipping email yet, boo hoo. Oh well, it is fun to anticipate something coming in the mail! Thanks for the inspiration!

This is very beautiful with the POP paper! That is such a pretty little flower image, and I love the All in a Row stamped on the green. (I just pulled out my All in a Row, so I can try some of your faux stitching.)

Uh-ohhhhhh! Mr. Brown’s late with the new stuff?! Tsk tsk tsk! Nope … no cookies for sure. On the other hand, that’s a darlin’ card … and I think I need to stop looking at that All in a Row from a certain ‘enabler’ friend in Florida! haha
