Amuse-ing Little Cards!

I made these cards for the A-Muse-A-Palooza Challenge 1 Color Combo. - You can see the challenge here. They've got a lot of stuff going on over at their blog so be sure to check out all the fun!

For this challenge - you have to use Chocolate Kitchen, Cabana Blue and Purple Passion and it must feature at least one Amuse Stamp.

Mine are done in the "Julie Ebersole" style! (She's one of Amuse's designers as well as an original member of the Dirty Dozen on Split Coast) Julie usually does no layer cards - simple designs with a punch. I can't seem to get to the no layer level - but these are pretty close for me!

I don't have the Amuse colors - accept for the card - that is a 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 square Amuse card in Cabana Blue (how lucky for me!) The purple is Lavender Moon by Papertrey Ink and the brown is Chocolate Chip by Stampin Up. I used my Spellbinder ribbon tag die on this one to run the ribbon through and added the cute little half pearls that are by Crystal Stickers. I colored the riders outfit and hat with a Stampin Up marker. The stamps are both by Amuse.

For this card I used the same Amuse Square Card in Cabana blue, and the same chocolate satin ribbon - the blue circle and paper pieced pillows are Soft Sky by Stampin Up and the purple circle is the Lavender Moon by PapertreyInk. I cut the circles with my Nestabilities. The pillows are attached with foam dimensionals.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you check out the Amuse challenges and make some cards!
