What's TRENDING at Just Us Girls?

It's that time of the month for our

TREND WEEK

and our Host MARIA has chosen Watercolouring.

Now I had a LOT of fun with this one

even though as you will see it was a little messy

  My craft mat cleaned up better than my fingers.

 

 

 

Here's what my mat look like after I spritzed with water

and inked up my watercolour paper.
 

 

I dried most of it off with my heat gun but then decided

to leave it overnight and finish it off the next day.

***

Here are the products I used -

Basic coloured card stock as my base

and embossed frame which is by Stampin' Up

and slightly popped.

Black for matting

The beautiful flower is from

Inspired by Stamping - Elegant Flowers

and heat embossed in black to the watercolour background 

 popped for dimension.

Tag - JustRite

Sentiment - GKD

Several coloured inks

Kaisercraft ribbon slightly melted with heat gun

and finished with a few pearls.

Don't forget to pop over to Our Blog to

check out what our Guest Louise and

the Team have created with this fun challenge.

Hope to see you there.

 

For October & November Only:

If you are picked as Chic of the Week for any of our

October and November challenges,

you'll be in the running to be chosen as

one of two Guest Designers for the month of January 2016!

The Team will be taking a 2 week break in December,

so we will not have a Guest Designer for December.

 

 

 

 

 



Many Thanks

 

 

 

Over at Make My Monday Blog the new challenge theme is

MANY THANKS  and The Paper Players have a

COLOUR CHALLENGE.

 

It was a nice change to get away from making Christmas cards

 to enter my card in the above challenges.

I wanted to make a Thank You card for a Friend

(can't say why as she sometimes pops in here)

and loved the colours from the Paper Players.

I got to use my favourite SU ink as my

colour choice - Rich Razzleberry and chose

to go with the colours black white and silver.

 

I also used the following products -
SU Fifth Avenue Floral in background
Morning Meadow/Because I Care
SU Rich Razzleberry ribbon
SU Banner die
Black &Silver cotton
Kaisercraft Tag die
Kaisercraft Fern die cut in silver
Tim Holtz Speckles stencil
Bird wire stencil made by a friend
Rhinestones
Centre flower has Antique Silver Kindy Glitz

Hope you are enjoying some crafting time
