Just Us Girls #751 - CASE a DT Member

 It's CASE a DT Member at Just Us Girls this week!  Which DT member inspires you?

Come on over to JUGS to see all of the creations by our amazing Design Team.  Here's mine.

Another encouragement card for one of my grandsons.  Using one of my whales again blending some blues on him and adding some sparkle to his water spout.  Used a piece of patterned paper in the shaker and added the whale slightly popped up to let the sequins float around and under him.  Embossed a piece of white with a bubble/splatter ef and then inked with Brilliance blue ink adding some shimmer.  Sentiment is an old Gina K.

Just Us Girls #750 - Anything Goes Stencil Week

 It's Anything Goes Stencil Week at Just Us Girls, so it's time to pull out your stencils and have some fun!

Hop on over to JUGS to see what our talented Guest Designer, Kerry Parkinson and the rest of our amazing Design Team have created using stencils.

I picked up this cat stencil at a local scrapbook store before they closed, it has both the positive and negative of this cat.  First stenciled the black cat then used the mask and made a circle stencil and sponged various yellow inks for the moon, then placed the circle over the moon, leaving the cat in place and inked the background with Distress Inks in blue, purple and black inks.  Stamped the bats.  Stamped the sentiment onto a piece of patterned paper.  Matted with black and adhered to a Vintage Violet card base.

Playing around with some vellum.  Used vellum and a leafy embossing folder then flipped it over and stamped the very old floral background from Stampin Up.  Added a strip of purple vellum die cut with a fishtail die and stamped the sentiment with more very old product - Vintage Violet from Stampin Up.  Matted with black cardstock and adhered to a Vintage Violet card base.

Just Us Girls #747 - Color Week

 It's time for our Color Week Challenge at Just Us Girls and Lisa has chosen a fabulous combination for us to play with.

A huge welcome to Kerry Parkinson who will be joining us for the month of October as our Guest Designer!  Check out JUGS to see what Kerry and the rest of our amazing Design Team have created with this combo.

The embossed background was a piece I had laying on my desk with the oval already cut out, so decided to put it to use.  I inked over it with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink, but decided it was too dark, so sponged over that with some white ink, still a little dark, but oh well.  Die cut the branch and colored the leaves with chartreuse colored ink and the stem with the Hickory Smoke.  Added some Nuvo drops in light blue to the berries.  Die cut the sentiment from some light blue and the shadow from some light green vellum.  Put it together on a white linen card base.

Just Us Girls #746 - Stencil Week

 It's Anything Goes Stencil Week at Just Us Girls.  

I would like to thank Nance for joining us this past month as our Guest Designer and sharing your talent with us.  Check out JUGS to see what our amazing Guest Designer, Nance Salkeld and the rest of our talented Design Team have created with stencils.

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 #745 - Moodboard Week

 It's time for our Moodboard Week at Just Us Girls and Ina has chosen a real beauty to inspire us.

Check out JUGS to see how this inspired our Guest Designer, Nance Salkeld and the rest of our Design Team.

The background was a panel leftover from playing with Distress Inks which I stamped the floral background from Stampin Up (very, very old) with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink letting the colors shine through.  Die cut the floral sprigs from black and added some Sakura black glaze gel pen for some shine.  The sentiment is from Reverse Confetti.  Card base is Stampin Up Apricot appeal.
