Just Us Girls #23 Sponsored By Wplus9

Today's card is based off of the latest Just Us Girls Challenge, sponsored by Dawn Woleslagle of WPlus9 Design stamps. Check out the fun sketch...Up for grabs are two Wplus9 stamps sets! So stop by JUGS for the details and see what their design team has come up with, using Wplus9's stamps.

Here is my take...
Using a few of the tree top images, from the super fun Funky Foliage stamp set, I was able to create these adorable little flowers and leaves.

The sentiment is from Funky Flowers, another fun set! Used a fun color combo of Hibiscus Burst, Melon Berry, New Leaf, Kraft and Dark Chocolate. A new combo for me, since I finally got my hands on some Hibiscus Burst goodies.

Be sure to stop by Dawn's blog to see her gorgeous creation for the challenge, and for the latest on the new release coming up very soon! Also... my fellow talented Design Team members Savitri Wilder and Elise Durenberger have joined in on the JUGS fun too.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Just Us Girls Week 3 Color Challenge

Hi there! Today's card was created for the latest "Just Us Girls" Week 3 Color Challenge. The colors are Aqua, Red and Cream... Although the challenge calls for cream (and I did read that before starting the card), I spaced on the cream and used white. I was on a roll when making this card that I didn't even notice the mistake until I was completely done. What was I (not) thinking! I'll just blame it on the late night. :)
The ornaments (from Winter Swirls) were stamped and cut out. Before adhering them to the card, I pierced holes at each ornament and strung embroidery floss through, wrapped it around the card and tied the ends together on the inside.

I've horded these clear epoxy stickers for too long, I love how they look over the ornaments. And how about that Houndstooth! I love it! It's one of my new stamps from Studio Calico, I love how I can create a houndstooth in any color I like. Like stamping it in red over aqua cardstock! Fun!

Hope you enjoyed your visit with me today!
