Just Us Girls #742 - CASE a DT Week

 Once again we have a fifth Thursday this month, which means it's time to CASE a DT Member at Just Us Girls!  You can CASE any of the cards from this week's post.  Who will inspire you?

Come on over to JUGS to see what our talented Design Team have created this week and get inspired to play along with us!

Another whale card!  This one is going to one of my grandsons as some encouragement as he heads off for his freshman year at college.  The background was first embossed with an embossing folder then stenciled with large "bubbles" in blues and small "bubbles" in white.  Die cut the unknown fishnet and loosely adhered to the background leaving room for the sequins to get caught in the net.  Used a stamp storage pouch for the shaker, like seen on Jennifer McGuires blog adding the colored and clear sequins.  Shaded the whale in shades of blue, black gel pen on the eye and Stickles on the water spout.  Stamped the sentiment onto a piece of vellum with Azure Stazon ink and die cut with a fishtail die.  Framed the shaker with an old piece of Bordering Blue SU cardstock and onto a gray card base.

Come play along with us and you could be chosen as our next Winner of the Week, which would then make you eligible at a chance to become our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.

 

This is also a fit for TIME OUT Challenge - Friendship/Encouragement/Support.

Just Us Girls #741 - Stencil Week

 It's Anything Goes Stencil Week at Just Us Girls with Stephanie as our lovely hostess.  Create anything your heart desires as long as you incorporate a stencil into your artwork!

A huge THANK YOU to Bonnie Klass for joining us this past month as an amazing Guest Designer!  Hop on over to JUGS to see what Bonnie and the rest of our talented Design Team have created using stencils this week.

I started out with a very old piece of patterned paper from my stash and stenciled over it with a Simply Graphic stencil with Distress Oxide Hickory Smoke ink.  Die cut the flowers also from and leaves also from Simply Graphic from green textured cardstock and again from some yellow pearlized cardstock and inlaid the petals.  Stamped the sentiment with Gina K Slate ink.  Colored the edges of a white panel with a dark gray alcohol ink marker and layered onto an ivory card base.

Just Us Girls #740 - Moodboard Week

 It's time for our Moodboard Week at Just Us Girls and Lisa has chosen a beautiful, summery collage for our inspiration.

Hop on over to JUGS to see how this fabulous Moodboard inspired our Guest Designer, Bonnie Klass and the rest of our Design Team.

I used an unbranded honeycomb die with some adhesive backed taupe colored cardstock and adhered to a textured dark cream colored piece.  Added the little bees from Concord & 9th Be Mine set, colored with alcohol markers and Stickles added to the wings then die cut with the coordinating dies.  Concord & 9th Double Cut Letters used to add BEE and Tim Holtz happy.  Adhered to a mini slimline white card base.  Then noticed a little ink stain so had to add the little hearts which were in my scrap bowl.

Digging deep in my stash!  Found this old frame stamp from Gina K and the floral image from StampinUp.  Colored with alcohol markers and then die cut the frame from some woodgrain kraft and layered 2 then inlaid the image panel.  A frame in a frame.

Sending this off to someone very dear to me that is going through some rough medical issues.  Using the Dahlia Turn-a-bout stamp set from Concord & 9th stamped the petals in orange and hot pink inks.  Die cut the sentiment from glitter paper and shadow from black then colored the glitter paper with a pink alcohol marker.  Mounted to an orange card base and ready to pop it in the mail.
