Hello Beautiful!

Hello my crafty friends, I hope you all are having a lovely Sunday afternoon. It is beautiful here, so sunny and actually pretty nice out. Hubby and I took a 4 wheeler ride around the farm land in the snow. Very wet snow, so it was flying all over me. lol Very wet under the snow from all the rain we got before the snow came. It is going to have a lot of drying to do before any crops will be able to go in the ground. And that depends on how much wetter it gets with the April showers. Keeping my fingers crossed that hubby will be able to get the crops in the ground in a decent time frame. We will see how March and April play out.

 Well I got a little crafty today taking care of some DT projects. I also was kinda' challenged by Michele over at I Card Everyone to enter the Muse Challenge. Well more like she talked me into it. lol So the Muse over at Muse Challenge is Vickie Dutcher and we are to use her card for inspiration. Well, I'm not great with putting together pattern papers at all. But thought I would give it a go since Michele wanted me to play along. The inspiration I got from Vickie's card was not to use pattern paper but to use washi tape instead! I hope I'm not illegal and still will qualify to play along. I took some washi that came together in a box, so I figured they had to go together, right? I loved the colors a lot, so I began. I took a scrap piece of paper and started adding the washi tape. The flowery blue tape, I put on twice to make it wider on the panel at the bottom of the card. Then I just keep adding the washi. When I thought I had enough on the bottom, I started on the top. Then I cut it apart and popped each panel up on my card. I used a MCT stamp and die for my Hello Beautiful. I practiced stamping on the washi tape and did great, but when I did it on the card I rocked my stamp some, bummer-but I didn't think I warranted peeling off the tape and starting over, so I left it. I added some black sequins like Vickie did and it was finished. I am pretty happy overall with this card. I think it is beautiful and I don't often say that about anything I make. lol

    You are too cute, Brenda! You may have confused Muse with another challenge where washi was required... so guess what? You totally did it!!! And in a very fun and darling way! Thanks so much for joining us... I'll expect to see you again soon?

    I bet that 4-wheeler ride was fun :) It was a gorgeous day and a lot of snow melted, and we're in for temps in the 40s for the coming week - so YAY!!! I love the card with your washi tape! The colors with the big bold sentiment look perfect together, and I love those tiny sequin accents! Great card!

    You did a great job with the Washi, Brenda. The colors and patterns are quite striking. So is the bold sentiment. Excellent CASE. Good luck with your crops :)

    WTGo with this challenge. I love Vicki's card, with the patterns & neutral tones. BUT I loved YOUR card with those bright patterns and pops of color. It's just the tonic I need to keep thinking about spring. This is going to definitely bring a lot of cheer to whomever receives it. Like the way you've got that bold black sentiment and the tiny sequins for embellies. CAS, but brilliantly so. I LOVE it! You did great! TFS & Big hugs. MM

    I hope you won't mind me doing this Brenda but I want to Pin this onto one of my Pinterest boards. It's such a clever idea and a great way to create some quick cards using those self multiplying snippets! Awesome card - thanks for the inspiration! Karen xx
