Muse Challenge #5

I had a chance to spend a little time in my craft area last night so I created a card for this week’s Muse Challenge.
 
I love the bright fun colours and fabulous design on the washi tape on Marion’s inspiration card. I shuffled through my stash of 6x6 paper pads to find a DP that inspired me. I usually have an idea in my before I start my card but this one was definitely step by step but I am happy with the results.
 
I don’t have any washi tape so I used designer paper, I cut along the patterns of the chevrons of the paper so that I could have three separate panels with lightly inked edges. I popped the die cut balloons and sentiment up with foam tape and I used the sentiment to keep the twine from the balloons in place.




Supplies: Cream and brown card stock, Designer Paper-Echo Park, My Favorite Things-On the Line, The Stamps of Life-baloons2cut, twine.

Cheers,
Nina

    Nina,

    This is my kind of card...subtle colors with a bold color mixed in. Love the balloons tied on the baker's twine. Great take on the inspiration card;)

    Nina, you card is delightful; a charming interpretation of the Muse colours! My stash included the same paper. I stare at it - often - not quite sure what to do and ta dahhh...here you are with such inspiration! Great to see another Canadian tackling the Muse Challenges!! Thank you for sharing.

    Great idea to use patterned paper instead of washi tape. Until recently I didn't have any washi tape. Terrific birthday card, love how you tied up the balloons!
