Just Us Girls Photo Challenge #303

It's Photo Week at Just Us Girls and Cheryl has chosen a beautiful photo for our inspiration!

Come on over to the JUGS blog to see how this beautiful living space has inspired us and our Guest Designer - Linda Beeson.

I was inspired by the colors and that beautiful rug.  A lot of die cutting with just a little stamping.

Now it's your turn to show us how this photo inspires you.  You could be chosen as our next Chic of the Week, which would put you in the running to be our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.

Uptown Funk!

Fun theme at The Male Room - Song Title Challenge.

The cityscape is by Jillibean Soup and the rays are Tim Holtz.  I clear embossed the rays on yellow cardstock then sponged Faded Jeans and Black Soot Distress Inks over the top and wiped with a damp cloth.  Stamped the cityscape and colored with Touch Twin markers and added yellow gel pen to the windows, then cut it out and popped it up.

Thanks for stopping by!

Linda Beeson is with us again this week as our July Guest Designer.  Come over to Just Us Girls to see what Linda and the rest of the JUGS Design Team have created with these colors.

I used Gina K's Sporty Accessories set.  Colored with Touch Twin markers and a yellow gel pen on the shoelaces.

We have Linda Beeson with us again this week as our July Guest Designer.  Come on over to Just Us Girls to see what Linda and the rest of the JUGS Design Team have done with GOLD.

I used a Spellbinders cover plate die for the background and some gold glitter cardstock.  Stamped and embossed the Gina K sentiment with gold ep and added some gold gel pen for some faux stitching on the end of the banner.

JUDY WOODLAND - January 2015

Thanks Ladies for joining Just Us Girl's in our celebration!!

We can't forget our newest July Guestie;

LINDA BEESON

It was hard to get a good photo of this because the white is Gina K shimmer cardstock.  I die cut some leaves, hearts and a wreath.  Added some coral berries with a Touch Twin marker.  Embossed the hearts and the background.  Hardest part about this card was figuring out an ink that matched the coral AND didn't smear on the shimmer cardstock.  I ended up adding clear embossing powder over the sentiment and heat embossing and a few failed attempts.
