Quick Card using #AnnaGriffin #Metalasse #EmbossingFolder & #MarthaStewart #Butterfly #Stickers

Finally got to use some new goodies I picked up! But this one was a toughie because I could NOT for the life of me find my packet of 12x12 Anna Griffin printed papers I know I have.  I had envisioned fussy cutting some fabulous AG style floral bouquets to add as a center piece for my hand woven golden background.  I think I will die if I never find my AG packet of paper. I will persevere and find it hopefully.

Speaking of the hand woven golden background, I recently picked up this Matelasse embossing folder at Joann's recently when it was marked down on clearance and I was able to use a 40% off coupon on top of that! I haven't bought anything scrappy in years...at this steal of a price, how could I resist? Plus, all I could see was weaving this embossed design in so many kinds of paper finishes, so you may see this EF pop up frequently because I'm madly in love.

I would have preferred to kept this card strictly Anna Griffin, but this turned out to be a bit of a mod podge because I could only draw on the supplies I threw into my Cropper Hopper Navigator rolling luggage for a 4 day weekend trip in Central California to visit my other half's family.

I have to admit, couldn't figure out where to place a sentiment title, so I'm going to just leave this as a blank all occasions card.

Definitely a quick and easy card that came together in my hotel room this past weekend thanks to the inspiration over at the Muse for their Challenge #118.

How I was inspired??

• I went warm and shiny, whereas their's was cool. 
• I went woven whereas their's was chevron/herringbone-y. 
• I went butterfly-y whereas their's was doggone cutesy. 
• I went layered elegant whereas their's is clean and simple elegant.

So glad I could play along with the ladies at the Muse this time. Thanks for looking!
