Just Us Girls #824 - Moodboard Week

 It's Moodboard Week at Just Us Girls with Carol Mc as our fabulous hostess and she has chosen an awesome photo for our inspiration!

Hop on over to JUGS to see how this photo inspired our talented Guest Designer, Kerry Parkinson

 and the rest of our amazing Design Team.

I was inspired by the groovy colors and shapes along with the lamp.  I chose the lava lamp due to the retro feeling of the Moodboard photo.  Stenciled the background with Hero Arts Neon pink and orange.  Stamped the lamp (a very old Gina K set) with teal ink and colored with alcohol markers in orange and pink then covered the glass of the lamp with some clear glaze gel pen.  Added the sentiment from the same set in orange ink.  Used the same teal ink to shade the frame and card base.
