Muse #70 combined with a few other challenges

My friend Vicki over at the Muse designed a stunning card to use as inspiration. With Fathers Day being almost here I turned it into a Fathers Day card....


I got inspired by the horizontal stripes, the bold sentiment and the raised banner


I used paint swatches since they come striped already and heat embossed the sentiment - STAMPlorations sentiments builders. I added a black line about the right side of each of the small letters to give it more dimension. The raised round I cut four times using a Nestabilities die. The sentiment and the bowler hat are Studio G stamps.

Here is Vicki's fabulous card:                                                   I am also adding this card to:

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
