Muse 192

Tracey McNeely is our muse this week.  I loved the off set embossing over a watercolor look on her card.

Instead of an outline stamp, I decided to go with a texty stamp over a tree shaped brusho colored area. I love that the brushos gave me both a yellow and green shade in the same container.  The stamp comes from Penny Black, Season's Wishes.



I die cut one side with SSS's scallop stitches die and added a strip of gold foil tape from CTMH to the opening side.  This is a smaller card 3.25 by 5. I love Tracey's technique and design, and I can see using it more often.




Here is Tracey's lovely card:

Cat I love how you interpreted Muse with the strip of gold and the watercolouring. That gold embossed tree is awesome! Thank you for sharing with us at Muse this week!

This is clever. The shape of the tree is subtle yet clear as well (does that make any sense?!) Thanks for joining us at Muse this week!

Love your interpretation of Tracey's Muse card; so clever to use brushos that already has multiple pigments.
