MUSE CHALLENGE #41

I'm honored and thrilled to have received an Honorable Mention for my card.  
Thank you so much for your votes :)




This week's MUSE 
is Janet, a.k.a. Swanlady 21


Is Janet's card not the most amazing card ever? The shaded and highlighted baubles are gorgeous,especially offset with the black outline!

I tried to imitate the black border by adding one layer to the bottom of each tree branch (3 layers thick), allowing just a peek of black at the bottom of each branch. I dotted the baubles with a black felt pen, added a SU sentiment and popped up the panel with some foam dimensionals on AC textured card stock.

Take a minute or ten and pop on over to Muse Challenge #41 and prepare to be inspired! No excuse now not to get cracking on this year's holiday cards!

Happy crafting!

BTW, I have turned on Comment Moderation as I have been having repeat visits from an unwelcome guest (grrrr!).  Hopefully, this will discourage the "guest" from visiting!!!
