In the end, I used a PTI cover plate to emboss the card panel (and yes, I stayed with a green base). The same cover plate is used to die cut a strip of black paper and overlaid on the embossed panel to create a border.
Scraps of kraft paper created the diamond & triangle pieces I filled in on the border. This nice bold sentiment is from Technique Tuesday and I really don't know why it doesn't get used more often.
This second card is for the My Favorite Things Weekly Stamp Club sketch challenge at Splitcoaststampers. I started out the year with the goal of participating every week, but things fell apart a few weeks ago.
This week's sketch was too much resist when it was posted the same day I received my new Chalkboard Frame Builder die-namics. The sentiment is made by combining and masking three stamps from Birthday Sentiments.
My little daisy is made with cardstock and tissue paper diecut and layered.

Oh, what a fun take on ths Muse - love how you've pieced the bits back into that die! Thanks so much for playing along!
ReplyDeleteI love your gorgeous card - that embossing looks amazing:) xx
ReplyDeleteThese are both fantastic. I know what you mean about the Muse card. I'm still stumped, and can't get beyond that fabulous green card front. You did an amazing job of making this card your own. I really love that IP you used. Somehow, I missed that one. And, your MFT card is really cute. Love how you did the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteThat green one is FAB!
ReplyDeleteLove, Love, Love your Muse entry - this card is graphic-CAS perfection. I actually exclaimed when I saw it!
ReplyDeleteThis is simply stunning!
ReplyDeleteBoth wonderful cards! Love the graphic nature of your first one ... what a stunner! And the type on your second card is so very fun.
ReplyDeleteJacquie both of these cards are GORGEOUS! Love how you made Laurie's card your own and I think I may need those chalkboard frame dinamics! Fantastic cards my dear!
