Just Us Girls #787 - Die Week

 It's time for our Die Week Challenge at Just Us Girls and Elizabeth is challenging us to use florals!  We all have an overabundance of floral dies, so pull them out and play along with us.


It's the beginning of a new month and that means a new Guest Designer!  Please welcome Julie Beech!  Hop on over to JUGS to see what Julie and the rest of our Design Team have created with florals.
Using an unknown floral die and alcohol ink markers on glossy cardstock.  Yellow gel pen added to the flower centers.  The background is a piece of gauzy tissue that was used to pack something I ordered and adhered to a piece of white cardstock.  Stamped the sentiment in black and Versamark and heat embossed with clear ep.  The card base and sentiment strip are Wild Lilac by Gina K.

Obvious inspiration from the little flowers.  I picked up this background stamp from the dollar store and it actually stamped decent.  Applied ink to the flowers with a small round brush and the green areas are alcohol markers.  Die cut the Concord & 9th flower and added some clear glaze and a candy dot after it dried.  Stamped the sentiment and die cut with a banner die.  Put it together on a coral card base.

I think this is our last Grad party for this year.  Stenciled the stars with Memento Luxe yellow ink on a linen card base.  Stamped the sentiment in Memento navy ink.  Die cut a couple of layered stars in yellow and glitter paper then colored the glitter star with a blue alcohol ink marker.  I always try to make grad cards in the school colors and this year I had 2 that were blue and gold and the other was blue and white.
