Muse 60

I have a last minute entry to Muse #60.  Lyndal Higgins, our Muse this week is a genius putting these shades together.  I am just wowed by her card.

Muse #60 Lyndal Higgins
I so fell in love with the inked colors and knew immediately that I wanted a white glittered piece in front of a similarly inked background piece.  I finally found some time to sit down and get the card made.  I used distress inks in crushed olive, squeezed lemonade, mustard seed, faded jeans, salty ocean, and black soot.

I cut a Simon Says Stamp Fresh Daisies and ran it through my xyron upside down.  Then added clear rock candy distress glitter. I burnished the glitter so it would stay put, then placed the die on my inked background.  A gold embossed sentiment on vellum finished off my card. Thanks so much for stopping by.

LOVE your blended inks Cat, the colour really pops against your white die-cut! So glad you were inspired to play along with MUSE!
