Just Us Girls #760 - CASE a DT

 This is our fifth week of the month, so our challenge at Just Us Girls is to CASE a DT member with Carol Mc as our hostess.  Who will you be inspired by to CASE this week?

Hop on over to JUGS to see what our amazing Design Team have created this week, then chose a card to CASE.

I went pretty simple with this one that I created for my sweet Aunt who has always been a great inspiration to me.  The background uses Distress Oxide inks in light blues and greens by smooshing on my craft mat, misting with water and placing the watercolor panel into it for a soft background.   Used an unknown leafy branch die and colored with a brown marker and sponged a couple shades of green on the leaves.  Added some red Nuvo drops for the berries and stamped the sentiment across the bottom of the panel.  Matted onto a dark brown piece and put it together on a kraft base.

Chose a card from this week's post and come share it with us at JUGS.  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.

Just Us Girls #759 - Anything Goes Stencil Week

 It's time for our Anything Goes Stencil Week at Just Us Girls with our very own Carol M. as our hostess!  Create anything you want, as long as it includes some stenciling and join our challenge.

Come on over to JUGS to see what our fabulous Guest Designer, Annette Elias and the rest of our talented Design Team have created using stencils.

A Valentine for one of my grandsons.  A mini slimline with stenciled hearts using Distress Worn Lipstick ink. Used an unbranded elephant and heart balloon.  Sponged some gray ink on the elephant and some Sakura black glaze gel pen for his eye. Added some clear glaze to the balloon, even though it's noticeable in the photo.

Come join us with your stenciled creation 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.

Just Us Girls #758 - Moodboard Week

 It's time for our Moodboard Challegne at Just Us Girls and Bobby is our hostess this week and has chosen a beautiful collage for your inspiration.

Hop on over to JUGS to see how our Guest Designer, Annette Elias and the rest of our Design Team were inspired by this week's Moodboard.

I was inspired by the snow on the berry branches.  Die cut the branch and added some Nuvo Drops in red.  Ink blended the background with Distress Oxide inks in blue and green.  Die cut an oval out of the center of a piece of white cardstock then ran it through my Big Shot with a textured embossing folder.  Put it all together onto a teal card base.  Stamped the sentiment from Scrapbook.com in Memeto teal ink.

Just Us Girls #757 - Word Week

 It's time for Word Week at Just Us Girls and it's my turn to hostess and I have chosen the word Masculine.  You can make anything for the men/boys in your life.

Check out JUGS to see what our talented Guest Designer, Annette Elias and the rest of the amazing Design Team have created with a masculine style.

I was inspired by this card I found on Splitcoaststampers.  I wanted something unique for my grandson who is playing basketball in college.  The background was embossed then cut to mimic the lines on the basketball and layered onto black.  Die cut the happy and the numbers all from black and put it all together on a rust/orange card base.

It's the start of a new year, a new challenge and a new month at JUGS which brings to us a new Guest Designer!  Please welcome Annette Elias who will be playing along with us for the month of January.

A little bit of recycling going on here for the lighthouse background, it's from a tissue box.  The die is an unbranded one that I don't remember where it came from.  Die cut from white cardstock and colored the windows, top of the lighthouse and rocks with alcohol ink markers.  Layered onto a piece of turquoise cardstock and onto a white card base.  Sentiment is from Reverse Confetti.
