MUSE #184, CASology: Frame - So Sweet

I have a few thank yous to send cards for, but just the one for now.  This one goes to a sweet neighbor for all the help with Daughter #3's Wedding Rehearsal Dinner.  The dinner was at our place, all homemade, but this sweet neighbor helped me stage, watch food levels and clean afterwards, which allowed me to enjoy and visit with new in-laws and friends.


Playing with my Inka Gold recently, I made several sheets in different colors.  I used two sheet with blue and silver for the frame and flower, and a green and gold for the leaves.  The second sheet of blue and silver was used for the outline of the flower, since it was a bit darker in color.  Leaving the center of the flowers in white, I used gold gel pen, and then glue with glitter to add a bit more interest.  Here's a close-up...


This will be going to MUSE 184, using Jenni Murray's inspiration, below.  I used her colors, floral image and frame for inspiration.  I changed her inked image to a die cut, as was the frame.
