Just Us Girls Color Week

Nancy has a fun color combo for us this week at Just Us Girls.  Use Black and White and a third color of your choice!


Check out what our Guest Designer Jen Mitchell and the rest of the JUGS Team have done with these colors.


I pulled out an old embossing folder, which has been very neglected and embossed a piece of white cardstock and lightly rubbed some aqua chalk ink over the raised pieces.  Die cut a rectangle framing using 2 Spellbinders rectangle dies and another decorative Spellbinders die that fit the frame perfectly,  Covered the frame with black glitter.  Heat embossed the wedding dress with white ep and stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx.  Added the Sizzix flourish.



One more that was very quick and easy.  Tim Holtz Burlap stencil used with Delicata Golden Glitz ink sponged.  Then using my MISTI stamped the flowers and sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink for perfect placement and coverage.  Added a strip of washi tape down the edge.
I am also entering this one in the Time Out Challenge - Clean and Simple with the optional twist of black and white with a Splash of One Colour.

Now it's your turn to get out your black and white inks, cardstock, embellishments,etc. and add  your own choice of the third color and play along with us!

Both are very pretty! It's funny, I pulled out the stamp set with the wedding dress this week too for a wedding card. Love that you embossed it in white. It gives it a wonderful sparkle.
