When I saw this week's Muse Challenge Inspiration, my original intent was to create something traditionally inspired … I stamped a green flourish … added a purple flower made from paper … but when I went to stamp my sentiment … that's when my Muse inspired me to take a left turn.
I kept coming back to this *You Rock* sentiment from the Big Thanks set by Technique Tuesday … but when I tried it with my elegant flourish and flower … it was a big fail.
So that card went into the recycle bin, and I started again … this time building my card around my rockin' sentiment.
The leaves were replaced with red velvet flourishes that reminded me of the flames on a guitar … and the bloom was replaced with a puffy turquoise treble cleff … I added a few velvet dots … and called it good. This Muse version is *me* and will be a perfect Mother's Day card for a friend.
I'm also joining the 7 or Less Challenge (it's sort of a thank you … a thank you for being a rockin' mom):
- Black Cardstock
- White Cardstock
- India Ink
- Rockin' Stamp
- Red Velvet Stickers
- Puffy Treble Clef
Such a fun card, the red velvet sticker looks beautiful! Thank you so much for playing along in this 7 or less challenge =)

Uber funky design totally lovin’ that flourish, and I’m so glad that you took that ‘left turn’ it was so worth it.
This is a really fun take on the Muse! Glad you played along!
Wow! How fun is this?! You’ve taken the Muse challenge and really made it your own. Love how out-of-the-box this is. Super fun. Bev
love how you describe how you came up with the card and the red velvet flourish is fabulous. A really unique take on the Muse card x
What a unique take on the challenge and it works perfectly!
Very creative, inspired card! You may recall that I have made a lot of rock- themed cards (IC and other SC challenges.) This card is a way cool take on that theme. TFS 🙂
Great idea! I love the flourish coming from the treble clef!
great take on the musecard!
This is just to cute. I love each embellishment you used. TFS AJ-
This is a great card. So different from the rest.
I just love your take on this week’s Muse! So clever! Wow!
I always love reading about the creative process people go through when creating their cards. Your new elements are a perfect match with the sentiment.
