Mid week throwdown & a new challenge

Hiya!  I'm trying a new challenge this week over at the Muse Challenge blog.  The entries submitted for these challenges are wonderful and inspiring and even though I'm a bit intimidated by the challenge entries, I decided to give it a try.
 
This is for Muse Challenge #17 with this card as inspiration:
My inspiration came from the three images as well as the colors of yellow, pink and orange:

The paintbrushes and sentiment are free digital stamps from The Alley Way.  I colored them with my Smooch inks and free-hand painted the background with the same colors.  I mounted them on black to make them pop on the background color of bright green (another color from the inspiration card).
 
This was a fun card to put together - I'm also adding this to today's OWH Mid-week throwdown - So Sentimental.
 
Stay crafty, my friends!

  2. Love that sentiment. Great idea to add your own free hand painting. Looks like a piece of modern art that someone would get great money for. Real cute card.
