This card features the last of the five new 2012-2014 In Colors, Midnight Muse. I love this new color and it’s my favorite! Although it’s blue, it’s not just any blue. It’s not Night of Navy, it’s not Not Quite Navy instead Midnight Muse is a great neutral color I keep reaching for over and over. It works great with pinks and reds and yellows and greens – a must-have for your color collection.
I used the Labels Collection Framelits (125598) to make this card. As you can see from the instructions below, the card itself is a cut out framelit and then I added additional layers of different sized framelits to create the front of the card.
I stamped images from Summer Silhouettes (wood 126445, clear 126447) in Crumb Cake, Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals and Summer Starfruit inks. I chose a polka-dot pattern paper from the 2012-2014 In Color designer series paper pack (126910) to make the largest frame. If you scroll down you can see my first attempt with this card when I used the Patio Party paper (126916).
I created a frame of Midnight Muse designer series paper and added pearls in the corners. A smaller frame of Whisper White card stock makes up the center of the card stamped in various images from Summer Silhouettes. The smallest frame at the bottom contains a greeting from Perfectly Penned (wood 122890, clear 122892).

To make the card, I folded a piece of card stock in half and placed the folded edge at the top of the card.
TIP: Use a sticky note to hold your frame in place on the cardstock. The ones I prefer are made by Avery and are sticky on the entire back surface. They can be reused several times.
I left a small gap at top so I didn’t cut the fold.
I then cut a straight line at the bottom of the back of the card so it would stand up and not wobble.
Card #1 – This was the first card I made. I thought the Patio Party designer series paper had too much pattern so I switched to the polka dot paper. It did motivate me to add the punched butterfly so that was good.
Which do you prefer card #1 or card #2?

Hard to pick just one,Like the post above I’d say the one with Patio Paper as i like the butterflies.But both are pretty.
I like both the cards and love the Midnight Muse. My favourite is the one with the Patio Paper…just because of the butterflies!…it’s fun. The other card is beautiful as well…just a bit more formal.
Elle est tout simplement magnifique!!!!!!!!!!
J’adore les nouvelles couleurs moi aussi, j’ai hâte de les avoir en France. Il faudra attendre le 1er octobre.
Félicitations pour cette très jolie carte.
Bises.
