Muse # 8 Sweet Baby Card



The inspiration this week  is by Therese Calvird on the Muse blog go HERE to link up and see the inspiration.  What I first noticed about her card is the pop of white...I loved the white space and the image set into it.   Since I was in need of a baby card...actually I also need a bay girl card (might be making another one of these)  I thought to use boy colors and bring in that cute giraffe.


Here is Therese's card for the Muse Challenge this week.

paper:  white, spring rain pattern paper
ink:  orange zest, memento black, spring rain
stamps:  Sweet Baby, Baby Button Bits
dies:  Sweet Baby (giraffe), Mat Stack # 3

Your card is great - I love that you used the non-floral focal image. THe orange really pops against the blue background. Just fantastic.

Ooh this is so sweet, Colleen, the detail is fabulous ... the threaded button for the 'o', matching the little hearts on the corners to one on the giraffe's ... err ... leg(!), the crisp die cutting, the colour combo ... love it! Anita :)
