Being A-Muse-Ing

Hi there! Hope you're having a lovely weekend. Today, fighting through a terrible lack of mojo, I'm finally entering both Muse challenges. We'll start with Muse Christmas Visions. The ubertalented Chriss made this gorgeous card, shown below, with little diecuts on a black background. Since I have a ton of red cardstock, I chose to do this:

Applied white embossing paste and glitter through a Tim Holtz stencil. While that was drying, I dry embossed a red cardbase with another Tim Holtz stencil. Using the now dry glitter-y cardstock, diecut a Tim Holtz poinsettia corner die and a Penny Black pine bough and glued them to the cardbase. Embossed a Winnie and Walter sentiment and added stickles to the centers of the flowers.

For Muse Card Club we're CASEing the genius of Anita's wonderful card, also shown below. 

I chose to widen my frame on black and dry embossed tthe cardbase. Next, embossed some toner grey cardstock several times with a white floral arrangement from Altenew. Using white pencil I colored in the flowers. Cut the panel to fit my embossed frame and popped it up on foam for dimension. Added the black diecut "Thanks" and further enhanced it with glossy accents. Added sequins from The Ton. 

  

That's all I have for now.
