A Muse Birthday Blog Hop! And giveaway…

Welcome to the A Muse Birthday Blog Hop!

Bloghop

A Muse is turning 9 this year!  I love hearing of companies that have been around in the industry so long… who have good people and make great products.  A Muse is a favorite of mine, so I was honored when they asked me to hop along with them.  Thanks, A Muse.

I love the new release from A Muse called Everything's Rosy.  So classic.  Here is one card I made.  It also uses their tiny gingham patterned papers – something I have mentioned loving before.  Every color is gorgeous – you can see the multi-pack HERE.

Supplies: A Muse Stamps (Marigold, Solid Marigold, Merci) and papers and notecard; Distress Inks; American Craft button; String

I decided to do one more.  Wanted to do a more vintage-look… at least a bit vintagey. :)   I stamped the flowers with Versamark Ink on the pink gingham paper and clear embossed.  Then I applied lots of Vintage Photo Distress Ink for a resist.  I also like the border stamp used as a "frame" for the stamped piece.

And remember how I said that the A Muse people are wonderful?  To prove that, they said I could give away some of their goodies.  Woohoo!  So, just leave a comment here on this post by Sunday, May 9, at 11:59pmEST and they will pick a winner of these two stamps…

    Love the pink and brown combination. The versamark technique really shows off the marigold stamp. There is a truly elegant look to all of the cards.

    This company is new to me–the flowers are gorgeous. I’m picturing them with Asian background papers for an elegant look.
