Mrs. Pickle Stamps: Pickle Post #19 - AMuse Challenge Blog

Hi there!

I am so busy with preparations for my anniversary trip over the Labor Day weekend and my creative stuff has been pushed aside a little bit! Today I do have exciting news to share with you! :)

I am honored to be on the design team with an amazing group of AMuse Studio Consultants who have created our very own challenge blog! There is so much talent and inspiration we have to share and some nifty prizes, too! We would LOVE it if you use AMuse products in your creations, but you don't have to! Please follow us on the challenge blog and participate in the weekly fun! Your creative support would be appreciated!

For this week's challenge, our challenge hostess Tami provided this photo inspiration:

There is so much you can use from this photo - color, prints, shapes, stripes - endless possibilities! Here is what I did with it!

My AMuse 'Thanks a Bunch' Card:

I used the color combo (which I LOVE) to create my card along with the floral prints and butterflies. The sentiment and butterfly were embossed in white - so pretty on that vibrant orange cardstock! The sunflowers were inked with light yellow, apricot and orange pigment ink using sponge daubers. The leaves were inked with yellow green and fern green pigment ink and fussy cut. Such a bright summery card!

Stuff I Used (all AMuse Studio products):
Stamps - Graphic Sunflower, Snail & Co, Kindred Spirits
Cardstock - Sugar, Sky, Orange
Ink - Lemon Whip, Apricot, Orange, Wasabi, Fern
Other Stuff - White Embossing Powder, Versamark Ink

Thanks so much for stopping by - I hope you will join us! I can't wait to see what you create!

Laura Sterckx said...: Hi Cathy. :) I was checking out the Amuse Studio Blog again and I saw that there's a new rule on entering challenges... It says that you need to be 18 yr old older and that you need to live in the USA.. Does that mean that I really can't enter? If so ,no problem at all. :)
Hug to you! xx; August 31, 2011 at 8:20 AM
Laura Sterckx said...: It's a shame that they changed the rules. But I understand it. Sometimes shipping can be quit expensive to other countries. Have a great day Cathy :) Hug to you! xx; August 31, 2011 at 11:13 AM
