Hi! I’m here with a bright card on a gray wet day. Just a quick post because I am nursing my husband who has come down with a very bad cold/the flu and we are also trying to get ready for our moving company. They are coming on Monday!
I CASEd the lovely Anita’s beautiful creation for as this week’s Muse.
Here’s my CASE of Anita’s beauty.
I decided to leave mine without a sentiment for now. I like that it is one layer. I heat embossed in white on fuchsia cardstock and then colored with a variety of Spectrum Noir markers and a black Sharpie.
I’m going to share this on Instagram for The Daily Marker’s 30 Coloring challenge.
Do you use Instagram? I’d love to have you as a follower there! 🙂
Find me at honeybeelanecards.
I used the same stamp as Anita. It is called Echinacea Field, by Imagination Crafts. 
I happened to buy this stamp in Dunoon, Scotland this past summer after attending the Happy Little Stampers stamping retreat in Swindon. 
I had the pleasure of meeting Anita as she was there too. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by!
Grace & Peace,
Melissa

I love seeing this embossed in white – it gives such a completely different (but equally gorgeous) feel. So gorgeous! Hope hubby is feeling better and that all goes smoothly tomorrow!

I had to re-read your post…white embossing on the fuchsia was a brilliant idea.Your coloring is perfectly done, as well. Fantastic card, and I think you’ve got a winner here.

So clever to emboss with white, in contrast with Anita’s original! So glad you joined us at Muse this week!

Love your take on the same card…wish I’d have done the embossing in white…I embossed mine in black and the black sort of took over!
