Just Us Girls and we start of with our Word Week.

Welcome to our New Guest Designer - Trina Pham.

Maria is Hosting and chose

I got carried away after I made this card and forgot

to take a photo before it was posted off to 

my niece's little boy who turned 4.

 The only one I did have is from my phone

 which I sent off to a friend to look at.

It was an easy card to make using the rainbow colours

and a stencil which I moved around to cover the front of my card.

I highlighted all the 4's with a gel pen to match the colours.

As his favourite colour is yellow the Happy Birthday die cuts

(which are from CUTplorations Skinny Sentiments)

are that and backed with red card stock.

Off course the card base is yellow!

Gel Plate Playtime.

It's the beginning of the month and time for the new 

Mix It Up Challenge

It's always Anything Goes but there is always

  An Optional Twist.

This one will get you excited as it is an

Open Technique where you get to choose - 

just tells us what it is.

I had so many ideas running through my head but

decided to challenge myself by using my

recently purchased Gel Plate.

As you can see I NEED a whole lot of practice

but I did have a lot of fun so 

My Technique is Using a Gel Plate.

I tried two different techniques - Acrylic Paint on the left and

Distress Inks on the right. 

The flower on the left was stenciled with 

Texture Paste and Magical's

 and my thistles enhanced also with Magical's.

Sentiments are a Tim Holtz Sticker and CUTplorations Die Cut.
