Muse Guest Designer

I cant believe I kept this under my hat till now. I wanted to blurt it to the world. What an honour to be asked to be Guest Designer. I have to admit to the funny tummy 
flip flop when I got Ardyth's email and had to read it twice to be sure.

Alright I have to admit to one of my classic blonde moments, I then wrote back so excited and said and what do you want me to do for my card. As I was fiddling around doing things and waiting for Ardyth's reply so I would know what they wanted, the penny dropped.
Ohhh dear, yes My Card, My Inspiration. I hope Ardith didn't laugh too much.
Anyway its time to get a card done and thank you ladies for giving me such a wonderful chance. To be Guest Designer for Muse for a Week.


I decided to go with my favourite type of card, which is flowers and Copics.  I received these wonderful flower stamps on Thursday from MFT (My Favorite Things) and couldn't wait to use them. They are called Funky Flowers 
I have stamped in black, using a bit of masking and coloured with Copics.


I love the stitched pattern on the flowers and cant wait to
 try them white embossed with watercolours.
I have taken a closeup shot so you can see the sparkle from  the Wink of Stella
added to the flower petals.




I finished the card off with a few sequins and a die cut hello. The hello
die is from Avery Elle (I was unable to find in their store and may have been discontinued). 




I can't wait to see how you are inspired by my card. Will it be the colours, the flowers, the masking and flowers.Whatever it is and I'm  looking forward to visiting your blogs this week to see how you've 'cased' it.

Now its time to go to the 
  Muse Challenge blog to play along.
