A card for this week's Muse Challenge.
This week our Muse is Laurie Willison with this sweet card.
Working with her design this is the card I came up with.
I had the pleasure of having lunch on Wednesday with Ardyth! We both live in Toronto, we both work together at CASology and after discussing getting together for over a year we finally did. If you are wondering she is absolutely as you imaged--delightful. Time flew by too quickly and we had no shortage of things to talk about. The waitress was sweet enough to take a picture for us.
Cardstock: Simply Chartreuse, Pure Poppy, Sweet Blush (Papertrey Ink)
Patterned Paper: Lime Twist (My Mind's Eye)

You are so lucky to have had lunch with Ardyth--and she was so lucky to have lunch with you. I am so jealous--I want to meet both of you. Some day.....Your card is just wonderful, and a perfect take on the Muse. I love your balloons, and those stitched rectangles are just perfect.
