Just Us Girls #625 - Photo Week

 It's Photo Week at Just Us Girls and Bobby has chosen the perfect springtime photo to inspire us!

Hop on over to JUGS to see how our Guest Designer, JoAnn Burnham and the rest of the design team were inspired by the photo.

Birdhouse with bird is from Gina K, sentiment is unknown.  Stamped the bird and his house and colored with Prismacolor markers.  Masked the birdhouse and stenciled the leafy branch.  Layered onto a lattice die cut coverplate in Bordering Blue and mounted onto a white card base.

Just Us Girls #624 - Color Week

 It's time for Color Week at Just Us Girls and Lisa E. has chosen a gorgeous combination for us to play with!

 

Come on over to JUGS to see what our amazing Guest Designer, JoAnn Burnham and the rest of the talented Design Team have created with these beautiful colors.

I've been digging through my stash trying to use what I have on hand and pulled out some Core'dinations White Washed cardstock and an old embossing folder.  Embossed the White Wash and sanded off the raised areas.  The White Wash was, well white, so I used some Distress Oxide ink in Antique Linen and sponged over the entire panel before sanding.  Added a couple of sprigs from one of my newest purchases from Simply Graphic and sponged on some color.  Stamped the sentiment from Uniquely Creative that I found in a local craft store in Distress Oxide Bundled Sage and fussy cut.

Just Us Girls #623 - Trend Week

 It's Trend Week at Just Us Girls and Vicki is challenging us to use Embossing Folders!

Check out JUGS to see what our talented Guest Designer, JoAnn Burnham the rest of the amazing Design Team have created using their embossing folders.

Trying out some partial embossing.  Used a Tim Holtz ef on some light blue linen then pulled out some rub on metallic paste and lightly rubbed on some blue and purple with my finger to accentuate the embossing.  The butterfly is covered with black Stickles and fussy cut the vellum for the base layer of the butterfly.  There was a happy accident on the butterfly, colored the vellum with alcohol markers in blue and purple then misted with alcohol and the colors really ran wild, but I like the effect.

Playing with some alcohol ink on Yupo using Sublime Pearl and Lime something regular (I have a smudge over the name on the bottle).  Stamped the unknown flower image that looks like clover to me with Stazon green ink, used a black Sharpie to go over the leaves and added white gel pen to the centers.  Stamped the Studio G sentiment on vellum with Brilliance black ink, was going to use my Stazon, but it was pretty dry.  Now have to find that reinker.
