Muse #4

Once again squeaking in at the last minute for the current MUSE challenge...haven't slept well in days, and it's starting to wear on me. And the poor dog:

Up at 2 to start the day today...and she won't go back to bed, but insisted on being all up in my grille while I tried to at least be productive with my early start to the day. Poor sleepy us ;)

I did manage to get an idea for the MUSE challenge, while digging around looking for something else. Don't you love how that works? I pulled out this purple circle & green scalloped piece, and *ding!* it came to me:

Supplies: random purple & green stuff, lol; Palette Noir & Spun Sugar inks; We R Memory Keepers yellow washi; CTMH stripy stamp; CC Designs sentiment; pink 'happy birthday' sticker from Doodlebug

     I was inspired by the green & purple colour scheme of Therese's card, the bright funky feel, and the positive sentiment...and the stripy straw! I love how it stamped in a rough way - it was the last touch I added & I love how it looks. Sorry for the dark picture - any brighter with the editing & you couldn't see the pink stripes. 

And now to link up with a whole 6 hours to go! Woot! Lots of time to play along :)
xoxo,
Jessi

    Jessi, this is precious! Love the way you did the strips at an angle on here. Great colors too.
    Cute little pup there - and y'all go back to sleep! LOL!

    I LOVE it. I love the wimsy of the the scallop edge and washi tape going diagonal and I love the pink on the purple for the sentiment and the masking...it is simply a GREAT card!!! :)

    Seriously funky and fun! Love those colours together and the distressed stripes int he background.

    And I need those cozy looking pants of yours! It's about 55 this morning and I'm freezing my butt off right now! (Remember - stone house, no central heat, door open for Atticus.)
