Just Us Girls #746 - Stencil Week
It's Anything Goes Stencil Week at Just Us Girls.
Another card for one of my grandsons, this one uses his school colors at Calvin University. The background was stenciled with Distress Oxide ink on some burgundy cardstock, but it wasn't bright enough, so stenciled again with the same ink and while still wet sprinkled on some buttercup embossing powder and heat embossed it. Die cut the HOPE from Concord & 9th from some pearl cardstock in a yellow/gold shade. Stamped the little part of the sentiment onto the same pearl cardstock as the label with Versafine Onyx ink and die cut with a fishtail die. Stamped the "good" (from a Gina K set) onto a piece of acetate and fussy cut to finish it off.

Just Us Girls #744 - Word Week
It's time for Word Week at Just Us Girls and it's myturn to hostess this week. I have chosen the word Hope.
Using a failed technique background. I tried Gina K's technique that was supposed to give this depth and look like it was embossed, didn't work for me but still wanted to use it. Stamped the Gingko Greetings image from Unity in brown on kraft cardstock, then shifted slightly and stamped with ivory. I tried to blend out the ivory without much success, so went to some chalk to try to blend and still not what I was looking for. Stamped the HOPE with Memento Espresso Truffle ink several times, but couldn't get the coverage I wanted, so took an alcohol ink marker in a dark brown and colored over the letters. Layered onto a purple layer and adhered to a kraft card base. As long as you don't look too closely, I guess it isn't too bad.
