This month has flown by and it's already time to share the last of Melissa's guest designer cards. It has been such a pleasure sharing Melissa's clean & simple designs with you and I hope you've enjoyed them! Most of her guest designer cards featured our adorable new Mandy's World girls, but when I saw these last three cards - I thought it would be fun to feature them together. Melissa used some of our fabulous new word stamps cleverly combined with other A Muse images!
Mmmmm.... sparkly sprinkles! I love how Melissa added a layer of Kitchen brown to the edge of the card to tie-in with the circle layer.
Delicious indeed! Very simple but cool effect - Melissa highlighted the milkshake glass with a light grey marker to give it a glass appearance. Then used Liquid Applique for the whipped cream and twinkle stickers for the cherries! And I love that she inked "delicious" in red!
Ok, one last design for you... one of my favorites in her whole set.....
Bwahaha!!! Did ya get it? Took me a sec when I first saw it... This was me: "hmmm - now why do these two go together - his tail isn't even wagging... OH! Oooo - what's shakin' BACON (duh) - very clever!" LOL!! So cute with the pink gingham and twinkles too!
Big thanks to Melissa for sharing her clean, clever, and cool designs - we hope you enjoyed them!
Be sure to leave a comment on this post to enter Melissa's drawing for a chance to win:
* Ice Cream girl stamp We'll announce the winners this Thursday - August 27th!

I love this last card, the pink gingham is so cute with the pig!
