Blue Muse
I wanted to play along with the Muse Challenge again this week when I saw the beautiful blues in the inpirational card photo! Blue just happens to be my favorite color!

| Creator: Marion Vagg |
I drew inspiration from the banner and the ombre technique that was used.

|
| Stamps: Paper Smooches (Design Motifs), Simon Says Stamp (You set) Paper: Paper Trey cardstock (white) Ink: SU (Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Tempting Turquoise), Memento (Tuxedo Black) Accessories: SU marker (Basic Black) |
I wanted to keep things one layer just like the card muse, so resisted adding anything extra after creating the main design! I also drew a thin black line to create a line similar to the one on the lower portion of the banner in the original muse card.
We’re headed to the local library to pick up some reading material for the day and upcoming weekend! DS1 is such a bookworm now and DS2 appears to be following in his footsteps! Add in some homemade shaved ice treats and fresh baked cookies and we’ll be set for a fun Friday!

Beautiful inking, Melissa! I love that you kept it CAS and the shades of blue are so lovely!
This is fab Melissa, you can tell where your inspiration has come but it is your own unique take on it.
Love what you've done here. The individual blues of the chevrons is perfect. And the one layer…it's so perfect for this card. Great take on the Muse. Great card. Bev
