Just for You!

 

It's that time of the month for our

Word Week at Just Us Girls

and Maria is our Hostess choosing

FLOWERS! as our word.

 

 

I saw the idea for my card from

DOstamping with Dawn Here 

and knew one day I wanted to case it

especially as I had the same stamp -

Retired SU Lotus Blossom.

I just love that stamp as it has a 3step

stamp and there are so many colour combinations

you could use. Just need to play with it

and see what looks good.

I came up with Memento Potters Clay

Desert Sand & Teal Zeal on mine.

Other products are -

Embossing is by Darice

Spellbinders Circles

Sentiment - Inspired by Stamping

Ribbon - SU

and rhinestones.

It's a Coloured Birthday Celebration

I found one of my favourite colour combinations over at

Colour Throwdown and just had to play.

Also at As You Like It their challenge is to

Make a card for your

Favourite Occasion and

Explain Why.

I think it is rewarding when you can make a

Birthday Card for someone special in your life

who is celebrating their Special Day.

So this time it is BIRTHDAY!

I am hoping to make another with my other favourite.

(not saying what it is) 

 

 



In the process of making this card I had chosen

one of my favourite stamps for this challenge

but when I went to get a stencil

I went a totally different way.

I decided to get my bokeh stencil out and play with that

inking randomly with Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers

and SU Melon Mambo. They go so well together.

Funny how this technique isn't quite so popular

now as there are always new ones to try.

I used 2 other stencils in the background.

I am hoping I can finish the card I originally started

in time before the challenge ends.

 

I recently bought this Happy Birthday die and thought

it perfect to place in front using the 3rd colour.

It is from Nina's Things.

I decided to mute the colours by adding a sheet of

patterned vellum on top. Liked that it had circles in white

adding to the effect.

Finished off with coloured sequins.

 

So that's it for now.

I do have another card scheduled for later today

so you get a bonus with 2 postings....
