Just Us Girls #737 - Anything Goes Stencil Week

 It's time for Anything Goes Stencil Week at Just Us Girls with Elizabeth as our hostess.  Let you imagination run wild using a stencil or stencils.


I would like to say Thank You to Cat Craig for joining us this past month as our Guest Designer! Now check out JUGS to see what Cat and the rest of our Design Team have created using stencils.


The "bubbles" were stenciled in Brilliance Blue ink then added a few more stamped bubbles.  Die cut the whales and inked them with blue and gray inks.  Added some stickles to the water spouting of the blow holes and some Sakura Stardust black gel pen to the eyes.  The sentiment is from a very old Gina K set.

Just Us Girls #736 - Moodboard Week

 It's Moodboard Week at Just Us Girls and we have a fabulous moodboard chosen by Bobby that is full of inspiration.


Check out JUGS to see how our Guest Designer, Cat Craig and the rest of our Design Team were inspired by this fun Moodboard.


I was inspired by the striped umbrella and the pineapples.  Stenciled the stripes with some aqua ink and stamped the scalloped border from a Gina K set with orange.  Stamped the pineapple from Concord & 9th Pop Art Pineapples in yellow with orange polka dots and the stem green, then die cut and put them together.  Decided to use a sentiment from the same set and stamped it directly onto the pineapple.  Put it together onto an orange card base.

Just Us Girls #735 - Word Week

 It's time for our Word Week challenge at Just Us Girls and Carol Mc has chosen the perfect word for this time of year!


Hop on over to JUGS so see what our talented Guest Designer, Cat Craig and the rest of our amazing Design Team have created for Summertime!


Pack your bathing suits and bring your flip flops, sunglasses and beach ball, it's time for a pool party!
This is a very old set from Scraptrends called Summer Party.  I think it was the first clear stamp set I got and have no idea where I got it from.  Stamped the bathing suits in red ink and colored with alcohol markers.  Using different colored inks, tamped the flip flops, sunglasses and beach ball and colored them the same way.  Punched the sun and added some Wink of Stella yellow shimmer.  Stenciled the background with Hero Arts Tide Pool in on some light blue cardstock for a water effect.  Stamped the Gina K Ribbon Stripes (another very old set) in red.  Put it all together onto a yellow card base.

Just Us Girls #734 - Color Week

 It's time for our Color Week at Just Us Girls and Stephanie has chosen a fresh combo for us to play with.



Since this is the start of a new month, that means a new Guest Designer!  Please welcome Cat Craig! Check out JUGS blog to see what Cat and the rest of the Design Team have created with these colors.


A Tequila Sunrise is what these colors screamed at me!  Die cut the drink glass twice, cutting from white and a watercolored piece trimming it down to fit in the glass and covered with clear glaze.  Die cut the circles from white glitter paper.  Stamped the sentiment using Lots of Dots alphabet set from Gina K in black on a piece of yellow vellum and heat embossed. The little dot by the sentiment was placed to cover a little smear.  Put it together on a piece of coral cardstock and matted with yellow then onto a white card base making a mini slimline.

I drew my inspiration from the lollypop in the upper right corner.  I've had this Unity set for a while and this was the perfect opportunity to use it.  Colored the lollypop with alcohol markers and Sakura Moonlight gel pens.  Found this polka dot paper in my stash and used those colors for the image.
