Hello there! I've got BRAND NEW GOODIES to show you from A Muse! Woot-woot!! There's a new release coming of gorgeous fall stamps, beautiful new Shimmer Couture paper and lots of new pearls and ribbons! Oh man, you are going to DIE when you see everything! It's all soooo pretty! My card today shows you one new image, a sentiment and some of the Shimmer Couture and Damask Shimmer Couture paper. Love it all! Be sure to check out the A Muse blog for more peeks of all the new beauties!
ETA: Someone asked what color inks I used on this card so I thought I'd give you guys the color deets -
Paper: Damask Shimmer - Grass; Shimmer - Espresso; Orange notecard - Paprika
Inks: Orange - SU! Pumpkin Pie; Green - ColorBox Olive Pastel; Brown - ColorBox Chestnut Roan
ETA again - I had another person ask how I cut out the leaves and the answer is very carefully, lol! I just used my Cutterbee scissors and one trick for cutting out skinny images (like the stem) is to cut them out first and then move on to the larger part of the image next. It makes it a lot easier to do it that way. I also left just the slightest outline of white around the image to make it "pop" off the page more and not get lost in the colors of the paper.
Beautiful, Katie!
