50th birthday

Monday again, time for a MUSE challenge.
This week's Muse, Michele Ferguson has a very clever card up.  She has asked for a "wonky" background-check-, a heart-check and a die cut word-oops.  I will have to make another card for the challenge :)
My background is the wonky SU " Handcarved " heat embossed on PTI vintage cream card stock in a pearl EP from my stash.  I die cut a stitched rectangle from Lil Inkers set and stamped a SU sentiment from " Hooray It's Your Day " in PTI Melon Berry ink and also stamped a SU tree disc from "Truly Grateful" in SU Baked Brown sugar that was a second generation stamping.  I filled in the same Melon Berry colour with some water, a paintbrush and a smoosh of the ink pad on an acrylic block.  The little wood hearts are from Studio Calico and the arrow is a SU.  They (the hearts) have a wonky shape too, folk style I guess?  My little 50 are stickers from long ago.  They have a cool calico-ish pattern on them.  I made this card in less than 15 minutes!  That's how inspired I was...and I guess that's why I forgot the die cut word detail!
Anyway,
Hope your Monday is off to a great start of the week for you!
