A-Muse-in' Polka Dots - Take 2...

Inspired by this week gorgeous Muse card by Laurie, together with this weeks Paper Smooches Sparks and Catered Crops Polka Dots Challenges.  I love the citrus colours in Laurie's Muse card, the cardstock base, the offset white greeting panel, coloured happy sentiment, the diecut flower elements and the twin panels in the background, which I translated into the two opening panels for a gatefold card, and my card is gatefold, the green tone-on-tone strip goes all the way around the card. I die cut two of the greeting panels, one in white cardstock and the other in patterned paper.  I slightly off-set these two panels to create more depth and to balance the die cut flowers.  The sentiment is Paper Smooches, stamped in Daffodil Delight.

I LOVE seeing everyone's interpretations of the Muse cards - thanks for stopping by :)

P.S. In case you're wondering , the background paper in version 1 had too much contrast with white on yellow polka dots, then I found the PERFECT yellow on yellow polka dot paper in my stash, so I decided to have another attempt - my daughter's friend enjoyed receiving the first one :)  If the acid test of a CAS card is that it can quickly be recreated - this one passed with flying colours!

Version 1, has already gone to a good home LOL!
