Just Us Girls # 693 - Photo/Mood Board Week

 It's time for our Photo/Mood Board Week at Just Us Girls and Bobby has chosen an awesome collection for our inspiration.


Come on over to JUGS to see how our fabulous Guest Designer, Greta Hess and the rest of the amazing Design Team were inspired by this week's challenge.
It's easy to see what inspired this card.  The blue striped background was done with an inked embossing folder and the smaller square was stenciled in gray.  Pulled out an old Gina K set and stamped the starfish in a caramel colored ink and fussy cut.  The sentiment is from Mudrah and stamped in Memento Nautical Blue.  Put it all together onto a white card base.

Now it's your turn to share your creation with us.  You could be chosen as our next Chic of the Week, which would then make you eligible at a chance to become our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.

I am also adding this to the current Can You Handle the Pressure? challenge, anything goes with an optional twist of stripes.

Commenting late; the week got away on me. Your combination of embossing folder and stenciling creates a pretty background for your little starfish. Wonderful take on the moodboard!
