Thinking of You!

Gold White and Blue.

then added gold die cut ones,

a simple sentiment from 49&Market,

die cut from JustRite Banner

framed in gold on to blue card base.

A Simple 'Hello'

It's our Colour Week at Just Us Girls and

our Lovely Lisa is Host and chose such gorgeous colours.

As it is a New Month we have a New Guest Designer.

A Big Welcome to Kerry Parkinson

So glad to have you with us for October.

Here's a close up shimmer!

I had fun inking my Kaisercraft butterfly in the required colours

and attached to die cut background. This was popped onto

the middle of a peek a boo die.

Some framing on the side with leftovers. 

Simple STAMPlorations sentiment and a bit of splatter to finish.

Bling completes my pretty butterfly.

Check out how our Talented Guest Kerry

and the Team enjoyed creating with these fun colours

then - your turn to add yours to our Gallery.

Thanks for visiting!

I'm Back!

 This is my first post since April after the big move north

to be close to family due to health issues and access to 

important medical facilities.

It was so good to start the huge task of unboxing

my craft goodies. It is still a work in progress but at least

I can begin creating slowly again.

Hence my first post is for the Colour Challenge at

Just Us Girls

As you can see I went really CAS here

while I continue finding places to put my goodies.

Carol Mc chose these fun colours as Host.

I got a bit  heavy handed with the pink inking

(SU Melon Mambo) 

as it went a bit too dark so I cut two heads

and inked them lightly with Versacolor 33 Pink

adding them as a shadow. The orange leaf is

inked with SU Tangarine Tango.

Some simple die cuts and a few pearls,

sentiment from STAMPlorations

 and that finishes my first DT project in my new home.

I am excited too that our Guest for August is

the very talented Bonnie Klass and we get to

enjoy her craftyness with us at JUGS.

WELCOME Bonnie!

And so my new journey begins!

Head over and checkout what we all have 

in store for you colour wise then be sure to 

add yours to our Gallery.

It's Saturday and post day for Just Us Girls

We have the start of a New Month with

Lisa E as Host for our Colour Challange choosing

such beautiful soft delicate ones - Aqua and Apricot.

It also means we have our New Guest Designer for September.

A Big Welcome to the Talented Stephanie Lanzalotto

I couldn't find inks light enough so got out my 

trusty Lindy's Magical's and did a bit of smooching.

I then inked the AALL&Create Elegant Stems 

with VersaFine Clair Nocturne and heat embossed clear.

Sentiment is from AALL&Create Power of the Word

and popped.

I did a 'Cecile' to the side as I didn't want to

add a frame to distract from the floral stamping

but just needed a little colour to finish it off.

Adhered to coloured card base.

Our Guest Stephanie and the Talented Team

have created beautiful inspiration for you to

join in with yours to our Gallery.

Hope to see you there.

Thanks for visiting

You ROCK!

Vicki is our Host for our Colour Week at Just Us Girls

and it's a super combination with so many possabilities!

Greta Hess from GG Creations

My card is pretty basic. I had the dies already on my desk

 so went with them in the colours above.

They are from MFT and background embossed brick is Kaisercraft.

Sentiments are from Paper Smooches inked with

Versafine Clair 

(I loooove those inks)

Decided to add something a little different

to finish it off  - buttons. haven't used them in an age

and don't we all have a stash!

That's pretty much it!

OH! and this is the last of my three-fers after all

there are three colours in our challenge.

Love it when a card comes together as quick as this one.

Should be a fun gallery this week with these great colours.

Check out what our New Guest Greta and the Team created and

Hope to see yours there.

From Me to You

It's our Colour Week at Just Us Girls

Elizabeth is Hosting and chose Pastels.

A New Month brings us a New Guest Designer

Welcome to Kristin Sluhan

 

I wanted something simple so got out an old favourite

SU Four Feathers Stamp/Die Set.

Wasn't sure which way to go with the colours

so inked and die cut a few.

I used Tim's oxide inks in the soft colours of

saltwater taffy and salvaged patina.

Did some soft stencilling for the background

from Tim and Doobadoo 

adding a few circles and one with opaque crackle texture paste

onto leathergrain card stock.

I landed up using smooched paper for the popped feathers

and embossed in white.

Tied a tiny tag with sentiment from ARTplorations

Attached to Bazzill card stock.

You are going to want to play with soft pastels

after you see what is in store from our Guest

and my Talented Team Mates aren't you?

See you in the Gallery!

You could be a Chic of the Week and be our Guest 

just like Kristen

I was having a play with shaving cream and stencils 

a while back and these colours work perfectly together

You all know I love making backgrounds.

Here is a close up of the layered flower.

Flower, Stencil, Sentiment and background stamping 

are from AALL&Create.

Flower head has been cut three times as you can see

from the close up.

Added thread to the background - 

something Tracy Evans the designer of the

stamp I used does regularly.

Placed a black pearl to centre of the flower.

Backed by black frame overlapping the white card base.

Finished with a simple sentiment.
