MUSE Challenge #10 and CAS-ual Fridays CFC95



This week's Guest Designer and MUSE is the amazingly talented Ardyth Percy-Robb, a fellow Canadian, a dear friend, a dedicated blogger and one of the most helpful, inspirational and motivational crafters that I know!  Ardyth's stamping technique is always flawless and perfectly executed, hence the "Stamping Queen" title that I bestowed upon her shortly after I was wowed by her talent! 

This is the card that Ardyth created.to inspire us...see, I told you she is the Stamping Queen!



I designed my card so that it also qualified for this week's CAS-ual Fridays Challenge, CFC95 - No Stamps!  If you want more inspiration and amazing ideas, just scoot on over and feast your eyes on the "stampless" creations of the CAS-ual Fridays awesome DT team!


Various circle punches and nesties were used to punch the circles.  The colored panels were popped up from behind on two layers of the teenie wee foam dots (difficult to capture the depth in the photo!).  The sentiment is a rub-on from my century old bin of 'stuff'.  The paper has a lovely texture to it as well....which was a bit of a concern when applying the rub-on, but all went well :)

Happy crafting!

  4. Ooh, celebratory bubbles, Geri ... I see loads of detail (always do with your photo's) and dimension and that makes these circles sphrerically splendid. Love how you've swept the sentiment in under the bubbles in such a happy wave! Such lovely words and thoughts on Ardyth ... and of course, you're spot on! Anita :)

  5. This is fantastic - I love the movement of the circles - I've been using the words 'bouncy' and 'riotous' a lot when commenting on the Muse cards this week - and I think your sentiment curving around the circles adds to those fun feelings! Thanks SO much for the very kind words (if only you could see me blushing!) and I'm so glad you played along, my friend!

  26. I love earthy colors, although I seldom use it on a card... no explanation why!

  27. AACKKKKK!!! Polka Dots - what's not to LOVE about polka dots?! Especially negative space, earthy and randomly spaced polka dots!! OH EM GEE!! May I just say, however, that this would have been a BREEZE to do if you had purchased a Cameo like I've previously insisted you do. I'm telling you - your life will change and you'll hear birds singing in the heavens! Start saving your BINGO money, girl, because you're going to get one of those babies come hell or high water! LOL
