Today was a beautiful day here in the Ozark Mountains! It was cool only in the 40's, but the kiddos talked me into going on a long walk and a picnic with them after school. It was so nice! It was so sunny that I would never have known it was only in the 40's. It felt great!
So after I got home from my walk, I had a little bit of time in my craft room and I had been wanting to get my Muse card done for this week. I love the inspiration card, so warm and tropical. I wanted to do something along those lines. Although I am a winter lover, towards the end of February, I do get to itching for warmer temps and some flowers :)
So here is this weeks Muse card by Therese Calvird. I love the colors. Purple and green have always been a favorite color combination for me. And she did a gorgeous job on her coloring.
And here is my card:
I really had a lot of fun making this card. I did not have any tropical stamps at all and I already had my mind set on a toucan or some type of colorful tropical bird, so I looked through my cutting files for something that would work. I found this adorable little toucan and these wonderful green leaves. It was exactly what I was looking for. They are from Lettering Delights. I stamped a few light waves in the background and then layered all of that right on top! Now I need a margarita! haha!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hugs,
Kay :)
This is amazing. I love the little toucan and all the color in this card. Simply wonderful. : ) Bev

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Kay! This is perfectly adorable and it instantaneously transports one to some tropical paradise. The colors in the toucan and overall are fabulous. Wow. I visit Lettering Delights regularly, but I honestly don't remember seeing this file. Hmmmm....may just have to rectify that.
