A Simple HELLO!

It's Stencil Week at Just Us Girls 

I made this background some time ago.

While I had this AALL&Create stencil inked

with LIndy's Magical's

I reversed it and used the remaining ink to

create the background.

Added some die cuts in bold bright colours,

some torn washi tape and a simple

STAMPlorations sentiment to complete.

Head over and see the last fabulous wow cards from

our August Guest Julie

and Talented Team.

You will be impressed and hope you 

then add yours to our Gallery.

I BIG THANK YOU Julie for 

sharing your fabulous cards with us this month.

It's Anything Goes!

Time to play at the New Challenge at

Cut it Up and it's the popular

ANYTHING GOES!

It was our monthly Ladies who Lunch outing

and we went to a cafe attached to the

 most fabulous Plant Nursery.

Off course we all came home with  a 'few plants'

My eyes feasted on the gorgeous pots of 

pretty soft coloured daisies -

hense that is where I got my inspiration from.

Another piece from my bits box was used for those daisies.

Die cut twice using white as a shadow.

Flicked some splatters.

Added some circle dies and the middle one

was run through my crimper.

Some flower soft and glossy accents to the centres

and finished with a simple sentiment.

The Design Team have created an abundance of creations

for your inspiration and we look forward to 

yours in our Gallery.

Know your ABC!

The Lovely Lisa has a super Mood Board Pic

for us this week as our Host at Just Us Girls

and you can guess were I took my inspirtion from.

The slate on the chair is a so very old school item

every child had one - back in the day...

I cut out several alphabet letters and numbers

with different dies randomly placed.

Big die cut frame for the slate and found a colour

for the slate itself that matched the photo.

Added some texture paste to the frame for effect.

and popped.

Adhered to kraft card base and that's it.

Our talented Guest Julie and the Team

have had fun with this board so head over

and check them out then go and do the same

and add it to our Gallery.

Looking forward to seeing what caught your eye!

 

My Summer Petals...

 

Over at Sunday Stamps Blog for their current challenge

is SSC366 Summer Petals

with their gorgeous Mood Board colours

and that sweet daisy that the bee is loving also.

I couldn't resist creating a simple card

with the featured beautiful daisy 

and at least three of those colours underneath.

Using my favourite Cracked Walls1 stencil

from AALL&Create with

Brusho's orange, lemon and leaf green

for the background.

My daisies are coloured with 

Lindy's Salt Water Taffy,

ColourArte English Lavender and

ColourBlast Deep Water

with a touch of crackle paste.

Sentiment is from Happy Little Stampers

(Aussie Brand)

Die cut is Tim's also covered in Crackle Paste

and popped.

The centre of the flowers have Art Stones.

Adhered to retired SU card stock.

Thanks for visiting and leaving such kind comments.

How Old???

We are into our Word Week at Just Us Girls

and Hosting is Elizabeth choosing 

BIRTHDAY!

so our Gallery will be overflowing for sure.

Here's what I had a whole lot of fun creating - 

Going with something a bit out of the ordinary

using stamps from STAMPlorations - 

A Snarky Birthday to You created by

Talented Becca Cruger for the heat embossed sentiment

and balloons with Tim's Distress Inks and 

highlighted with Lindy's Magical's for extra colour.

The fun stampings are from 

Deepti Malik's Balloons and Banners

framed with my Arched Dies and 

coloured card stock on to white base.

Sentiment reads -

I'm not making

any jokes about

your AGE

because

genuinely feel

bad about how

old you are

Head over and check out how 

our Guest Julie and the Team

chose to use BIRTHDAY on their projects.

Happy Birthday!

 It's time for our New Challenge at

Cut It Up with the Theme -

Add a Sentiment.

The background sure is a fun technique.

A little messy but the result is always spectacular.

Find a deep edged stencil and add bright powders to the

debossed side Spray lightly with water and carefully close

  making sure your card front is faced down 

to get the detail, close gently and run through your machine.

Showing the detail.

I used Lindy's Magicals -

Cowabunga Copper, Bratwurst Brown and

Nuvo Golden Sparkler.

The big Happy Birthday die was cut with

gold paper and a tiny shadow behind in white.

Adhered to white card base.

Pop over and see what my Design Team Mates created

and hope to see your SENTIMENT  card in our Gallery.

Sending this card to

 Inkspiration Challenge #347 Mood Board

Welcome to a New Month of Challenges at

 Just Us Girls

First up is Elizabeth as Host with our Die Challenge

and asking for FLORALS.

Easy eh! as we all have a multitude of flower dies.

I'm excited to give a Big Welcome to 

  Julie Beech as our August Guest.

You are in for a treat.

How good is it when you find leftovers

in your bits box and a card comes together nicely!

Both colours came from it and the plain background

matched nicely from my stash.

Die cut the frames, popping the middle piece.

 The centre die is an old one of Tim's.

Flowers were die cut and layered.

Sentiment is a simple one.

Added a teeny bit of crochet cotton to the stems

finishing with attaching to white card base.

Go on over and check out our Gallery to see what florals

our Talented Guest Julie and Team created.

I'm sure I will see lots of lovelies there this week.
