Happy birthday A Muse!


This is a little on the late side, but I thought it would be fun to do. I wonder if the A Muse crew has received birthday cards? I love the little lamp post and was inspired by the last sneak peek to use it as a sign post. I punched the new clever lever scallop oval punch (the yellow size) through shrink plastic, traced the "a muse" logo from a sheet of the micro dot stickers and heated it up to shrink to fit the lamp post. I embossed the lamp post to make it just a tiny bit shiny, too.
Speaking of birthdays, I hope you were able to take advantage of the A Muse birthday sale of retired images. One of the stamps that was going to the old stamps home was one of my favorites - "from me." It was the very first A Muse stamp I bought and I use it on the backs of all of my cards. Here is a photo of my much-loved, much-used stamp:
As you can see, we have been through a lot of ink together!
Card info: notecard, image and sentiment by A Muse, cardstock from my supply of scraps, embossing powder, jump ring, oval punches, ribbon from my recycle supply, Prismacolor marker, Sakura glaze pen.
