This card features A Muse Studio Vintage Bird (SVSC115) stamp set. I wanted to show some versatility with this set so I focused on the flowers and the fun floral flourish and cut off the bird. The Vintage Bird stamp set and the Botanical Silhouettes stamp sets, from the A Muse Studio April Collection, pair well with Bee Happy (SVSH047) stamp set from A Muse Studio’s main catalog.

These note cards are super fun to make because they use A Muse Studio Splash! Ink instead of ink pads. I brushed the new Floral Blocks (SVSA114) images with Apricot, Bermuda or Grapefruit Splash! Ink then stamped them on Sugar cardstock. I also spattered lighter cardstock card bases, Lemon Whip, Sky and Blush, with darker Splash! Ink. These are great for mega Card making – fun and FAST!

The brand new A Muse Studio Spa Day stamp set (SSSE038) is fun for Copic coloring! If you are local and want to learn more about Copic Markers join me for a Copic class. Classes are Sundays: May 22nd, June 26th and July 24th at 2pm in my Rolling Meadows, IL home studio.

For this last card, I inked the thistle images from Botanical Silhouettes (SVSD113) using q-tips and daubers to get these Papaya, Hibiscus and Wasabi multicolored botanicals. Then I paired them with A Muse Studio Bee Happy (SVSH047) to make this pretty thinking of you card.
