The Card Concept #65 + SSS & Muse #200 + Seize the Birthday

Happy Friday! Our winter storms have passed and the weather has been glorious the last couple of days, making me want to play with bright, spring colors. For this first card, the inspiration photo for The Card Concept #65 {Fresh & Bold} fit my mood perfectly.



Although white is the predominant color on the card, the bright pink and orange add great energy and take up a lot of visual space, pushing this card more into the Clean & Graphic category. The Poppystamps Simmons border mimics the patterned pillows and a simple Avery Elle Brushed sentiment finishes the card.




This card is also being linked to the Anything Goes challenge at Simon Says Stamp's Wedneday Challenge blog.

My second card is inspired by Jenni's card for Muse #200. I followed her design closely, with a single blossom flanked by leaves, but anchored mine on an oval die cut.




An Avery Elle sentiment is curved to follow the line of the oval.




Muse #200 Jenni Murray


This card is also being entered at Seize the Birthday in the Anything Goes category.




Thanks for stopping by!

  6. Absolutely gorgeous cards Jacquie ! I love how you cased your first card together with the orange/pink colours and the lace border which not only reminds the pillow but also the nightstand ! Your second card is also a fabulous Case and I love the bright colours you chose for the flower and leaves. Thanks for sharing !

  8. That die cut is perfect for the challenge, Jacquie, letting the colors show through it and around the border while keeping a lot of white. The flower is beautiful and looks great with the curved sentiment.
