It's 'Colour Week' at Just Us Girls

It's Colour Week at Just Us Girls
and Lisa is 'Hostess' choosing the colours
Aqua Kraft & White
 
I did have another card made but
had a touch of brown with it (naughty me)
so I went back to my craft room to make another one.
 
I have tried so many times to try and get the lovely
touch of glitter I added to different embossing powders
on my flowers but alas it just didn't happen.
 
Starting off with my kraft card base
I then cut out a white frame from MFT
stitched rectangles. I also did the same
to another piece of kraft card stock.
I cut it out before I realized I didn't need to
so attached it to my white frame before
popping the whole frame.
As I said earlier I mixed a few different
embossing powders together to get a
variegated effect.
My floral stamp is an old one from
GKD - Springtime Silhouettes
which was stamped several times.
Sentiment is also from that set.
Finished off with a few rhinestones
and some aqua cotton.

Now pop over to Our Blog
and check out what our August Guest Colleen
has created with fellow Team Mates
- always fabulous!

The flowers look lovely in the frame, Ina. Mixing embossing powders seems like a scary thing to do but yours turned out great.
