Today I spend some time (actually a lot of time! over 6 hrs) playing with some friends. There were only 4 of us at Sandie's today, so we had plenty of room to spread out.
I had a good day getting a few cards done. One for a design team project in a couple of weeks, and a few other just for fun.
I wanted to have a go at the Muse Card Club challenge... this week the Muse was none other than the incredibly talented Virginia Lu.
I used an older Hero Arts set ( thanks to Judy for reminding me about this set). I used four distress inks in the bright colours and did some masking as well. I added some faux stitching around the edge and the sentiment oval. I had fun making this card.
I also finished off a card I started the other day.
I used some free papers from Olga ( found here) that I had recoloured in Word and printed out. I stamped the Big Postcard stamp in Peeled Paint distress and then using Weathered Wood ink, I stamped Hero Arts Timely Bird collage stamp. I used the inks to colour the little flower and the bird. I then stamped some little flourishes. I added some highlights with a white Faber Castell big pen. I used some MME PP on the pearlescent card base and layered the tag with some lace on it. I added an organza bow and a Prima flower. The sentiment is from Kaisercraft.
I also got some colouring done, a couple of CAS cards which I will share over the coming week together with some cards I made over the the last week.
Thanks for visiting. Hope you get to have some play time this weekend.

What a beautiful card - I love your choice of stamps and the added touch of lace at the bottom is so very pretty!
Sounds like you had the perfect day, Dawn! Love both cards!! :)
Its really wonderful to be able to get together with friends and craft the day away! I love your interpretation of the Muse Challenge, beautiful colors! And I adore your last card, I really have to get that stamp and was so disappointed when I couldn't find it when I was in the US!
Wow!! That sounds fun Dawn and your cards are just Gorgeous. TFS all the photos :)
Looks like fun! Love your cards, Dawn--the second one really grabbed my attention--just beautiful!
Love the cards Dawn - both are so totally different - you are very talented in the variety you make and the different techniques you use.
It looks as though you have and enjoyable and procuctive day :-)

Sounds like a fun day Dawn. Both cards are wonderful. I particularly like the one with the bold flowers and you have inspired me to do some masking - not something I have done that much of.
