There's Always Time for TEA!

It's  Just Us Girls Mood Board Week and

the Lovely Lisa has us swooning over her

gorgeous fluffy cup of lovely-ness.

Just had to show you the big picture first!

Now here is my cup of tea.

I had fun picking out colours to use on 

Tim's Cafe Colorize tea cup.

I chose several pink tones as is on our Mood Board cup 

and a touch of grey from Bazzill card stock.

I started with the TCW Mini Flex Flower stencil

adding texture paste to the side.

The sentiment is from 

STAMPlorations Always Tea Time stamped on

Spellbinders Floral Ovals die cut.

Attached some lace (something I haven't done for a long time)

and glued the tiny stars from the above die 

After I had put my tea cup together 

I added Liquid Pearls then a small die cut flower

and some grey leaves.

Framed in grey and attached to pink card base.

Check out how our Guest Denise and The Team

took their inspiration from that delicious Mood Board

and I am sure you will want to play then

add to our Gallery.

Thanks for visiting.

There's No One!

Yes we are still in the Love Mode at Just Us Girls

with Valentine for our Word Week hosted by Carol M

I moved away from the traditional Valentine colours this week

and die cut some tiny white tags and added tiny glitter dp hearts.

Tags were popped after tying bows with nylon thread.

Background is from Lawn Fawn Stitched Borders 

on cream c/s and framed onto white card base.

Sentiment is from STAMPlorations.

and the Team and add yours to our Gallery.

Sunny Days!

 Once again it is time for our Monthly 

Anything Goes Challenge at STAMPlorations

Welcome!

I used florals from STAMPlorations Beautiful You

with Tim's Distress Inks adding

STAMPlorations Dragonfly Layering Die

also with Lindy's Magical's to the side.

Tiny splatters from the leftovers.

Sentiment is STAMPlorations Bloom Happy

Added a tiny green border and attached to white card base.

This was made for a friend at the village where I live.

She has had her third back procedure and I thought 

the sentiment was just perfect for a pick me up.

I added the sentiment - Here for You Dear Friend

from STAMPlorations Bloom Sketches (unavailable atm)

on the inside.

Living Life!

Hello and Welcome back to a New Year of Mixed Media at

Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge

Here is my Mixed Media Make that came together

by chance with another challenge in mind. As I played on

I knew it was perfect for our challenge.

As a result I wasn't taking progress photos.

I started with a cardboard back covered with gesso.

I then coloured with Lindy's Magical's

then again with  stencil work from AALL&Create Mock Croc

and reversed for more effect.

Also used the same stencil for the crackle effect.

Cut out some coloured hollyhock dies and branches.

Inked some random Ledge Script stamping  from Tim Holtz.

Sentiment stamp is from AALL&Create Lotus Clusters,

 torn around the edges, inked and popped. Ruffled the edges

of the main piece.

Added a bunch of thread and a heart to finish

(but no)  I decided to adhere to a 5in by 7in canvas panel.

I wanted more colour.

I had one that had texture paste on it 

and coloured it up with a whole lot of product.

A quick run down on colours used - 

Lindy's Witches Potion Purple

Have a Scone Heather

Tim's Villainous Potion

VersaFine Clair Nocturne/Monarch..

Here's a few close ups

My talented Team Mates have also been busy

creating over our hiatus and are looking forward to

checking them out and leaving kind comments.

Now it is your turn to have some fun and add your

Mixed Media with multiple mediums to our Gallery.

Thank you for taking time to visit and leave a comment.

They are truly inspiring and encouraging.

Love HEARTS!

We are all Heart this week at Just Us Girls 

As it is the Month of Love our Host Sue chose

it as part of our Die Week.

A New Month bring in our February Guest

Denise Morgans from The Crafty Den - Welcome!

I went with traditional red for my 

Heart Die Cut card.

Die cut a bunch of white circles and a single red 

from MFT, a spray of red hearts and a single

one which I added a shadowed love sentiment.

Behind that is grey for extra colour and white cheesecloth

Added a leftover tiny heart to one of the main stems

with Nuvo shimmer.

Attached to white card base to complete.

Check out how Denise and The Team chose

to display their Die Cut Heart Cards and 

join in with yours. 

Happy Birthday!

Welcome to today's post for  Just Us Girls

and my turn to be Host.

As we do when there are five weeks in a month

we have fun with our Case a DT Challenge

You case one of our Design Team's cards

and tell us which Designer you chose.

I saw This Card on Pinterest

and loved the coloured card base

and the simple but again colourful strip 

from an Alcohol Ink play.

So in fact I case-d that card.

I'm sure we all have a plentiful supply

of these gorgeous makes and this is one

from my bits box.

I found a big sentiment die

which has a back making it

easy to attach to the popped side panels.

Head over and see what the Design Team

created for your inspiration and choose one

to add to our Gallery.
