I used my fun Hero Arts Long Legged Bird. I love this guy - too cute! My sentiment is also from Hero Arts, Remember Your Kindness, along with a die flourish from My Favorite Things, Leafy Flourish. Oh yeah, the challenge was Blues. I am also entering this into the Simon Says Monday Challenge; blues [too!]
I am so happy that I finally figured out how to make svg cuts with my Silhouette Portrait cutter for any stamp image I have! [the above bird is a prime example] Talk about awesome - no more scissors... ever! :) I love that. 2014 is starting out quite fabulous!
I also got a Muse Challenge email, and it is Laurie's last challenge with the Team so of course I had to play!
I also have been wanting to try faux letterpress. I really like the way this turned out. To accomplish this, I inked up a Tim Holtz embossing folder on the depressed side with Distress ink Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade and ran it through my Big Shot.
I am quite happy with my bright hello card. Thanks Muse Laurie -- you will be missed!!
That's it for me today. See ya tomorrow!!
Thanks for stopping by~

Wow your Muse card is just stunning VIcki, not sure I understand how you did it but it sure came out looking fabulous x

Didn't know you finally got a new cutting machine. I love my Portrait and have been playing with the pens lately…
I love how you showcased the cute bird with the colorful round background panel. The second card is so bright and fun. Need some of that "warm" sunshine here!

That is so cool! I love the inked embossed panel - very 'street' feeling (I don't know a better way to describe that, sorry), but then the elegance of the sentiment and the label adds elegance! Thanks for joining us at Muse this week!

Love the Muse card!! The faux letterpress technique is fabulous!
Your little bird card is so cute, but I have to say that your MUSE card is absolutely stunning! I love the sunset colours and the texture of the embossing - beautiful! :)
