Muse Challenge #6

We have a surprise Guest Designer today! Deanna Jean is a member here at Muse and has generously agreed to share a card with us. Her card has a bold and striking arrangement of flowers that really pops against the crisp, white card base. The doodled quality of the frame surrounding her sentiment really adds a subtle hand drawn whimsy.

You're free to draw your inspiration from any of the elements of Deanna's card. For example, design/layout, color combination, pattern, texture, image, style, embellishment and technique. Be creative and make a card that reflects your own personal style and flair.

Now here's your Monday Muse, Deanna Jean!

We can't wait to see your unique take on this week's card!

Here are the 3 simple rules:

• Use the Muse card as inspiration, explain your interpretation and link back to Muse. 
• Provide supportive comments to at least 3 of your fellow member’s submissions. 
• Vote for 3 of your fellow member's submissions that you find inspiring.

IMPORTANT: Before you create and submit your card please read the Member Rules page.

The InLinkz will close and voting will begin at 12 noon EST on Saturday, March 2. Please don't forget to come back and vote for 3 of your fellow member's submissions. Voting ends on Sunday at 12 noon EST. The results of voting will be announced at 8:59 a.m. EST and our new challenge will begin at 9:00 a.m. EST on Monday, March 4.

Muse Challenge #4

We've just had a whopper of a blizzard here in America! So our Muse card for this week is a very welcome and fun tropical card by Therese Calvird. Lots and lots of ideas come to mind with this crisp and brightly colored card! What grabs your eye first, the vibrant color, clean lines, white space or refreshing glass of limeade?

You're free to draw your inspiration from any of the elements of Therese's card. For example, design/layout, color combination, pattern, texture, image, style, embellishment and technique. Be creative and make a card that reflects your own personal style and flair. Hint: Try using just her color palette or just the card as a sketch, if you feel overwhelmed about where to start. 

Now here's your Monday Muse, Therese Calvird!

We can't wait to see your unique take on this week's card!

• Use the Muse card as inspiration, explain your interpretation and link back to Muse.
