Muse #40 Believe

Happy
Saturday once again!
I am crafting up a storm today...all day long!  I made this card for Darnell's challenge over at MUSE, #40.  She is the featured MUSE this week and I only very recently came to know about Darnell's blog and craftiness.
I knew that I wanted to use the same colours and some velum as seen in Darnell's wonderful inspiration card.  I set off making all kinds of velum borders and arrangements, but they were not speaking to me, so, I chose this simpler approach to let the sentiment be center stage.  It is from Verve's "Believe" set from a couple of years ago.  The flower from the same set is stamped in craft white ink on SU's Pink Pirouette and heat embossed then fussy cut.  I don't have a lot of choices when it comes to pink...but I think this pink is a perfect soft shade.  The Memory Box Lavalier Circle was cut from pink velum and adds even more of a feminine and soft touch (imho).  I added a couple of green leaves made with the My Favorite Things Branch and leaves die cut set.  I finished it off with a punched pink ribbon, the universal recognizable symbol.
Here is a close-up of the focal area.
Thanks for popping in for a visit and I hope that you are having a great Saturday!

  2. Oh, my, Chriss, this is really speaking to me, too! What a perfect card in tribute to BCA!! I love the background embossing and the full-on beautiful focal point, punctuated by the iconic ribbon. I'm not sure how many people noticed the green BCA ribbon I tucked into the stems on my card, so kudos to you for making it a design feature on your card! Thank you so much for the compliment of CASEing my card for MUSE!! Hugs, Darnell

  3. Hello Chriss, you have a hit making that sentiment the focal point of your card. Often, that sentiment is what pulls us through the hard times.
