Muse Challenge # 6

                                                              
                                           You're free to draw your inspiration from any of the elements of Deanna's card, shown above. For example, design/layout, color combination, pattern, texture, image, style, embellishment and technique. Be creative and make a card that reflects your own personal style and flair.   You can read more about the challenge HERE on the MUSE blog.

Well, I am not so clever with free hand drawing lines, so I guess my style is more uniform and using a ruler!  So this is what I came up with.   I liked the cluster of flowers, so I knew I wanted to do that and I liked her colors although mine are a bit more subdued.
    Stamps:  PTI simple sunflower, CAS-ual Friday casual elegance
    ink:  raspberry fizz, berry sorbet, hibiscus burst, limeade
    paper:  PTI rustic cream

Clever to upside-down this sketch in this way! I can clearly see the inspiration, but equally, it's clearly yours! Great take on the Muse!

Oh how lovely! What a beautiful interpretation of the Muse card! I have been wanting that stamp set, but was waiting for fall thinking it was a fall set. I am going to go put it in my cart! I love the springy colors!!

This is so pretty Colleen. These are some of my favorite flower stamps. I think I might just have to CASE you on this one :)

So, so pretty! Wonderful idea to put the flowers in the opposite corner! Greetings from down the freeway. We used to live in the Portland area.
